Hey guys, was browsing FB Marketplace earlier and found a practically new DeWalt orbital sander for only $30! The guy said he used it once. It's the DWE6423 model. I've been using a cheap Harbor Freight one for a while and this seems like an upgrade. But is it worth it or should I pass? What do you all think?

Tim, $30 for a DeWalt sander is a steal! Make sure to check the dust collection, though. Those can get clogged if not cleaned properly. Also wear a mask even if it has a dust bag - I learned that the hard way. But yeah, that's a solid sander. I'd grab it.

DeWalt makes good tools, but honestly, the DWE6423 isn't their best. It vibrates a lot after heavy use. If you're just DIYing it's fine, but for $30 you can't go wrong. I'd still take a Festool any day, but that's a whole different price range. Snag it, Tim.

Thanks guys! I'm grabbing it tomorrow. Bob, I'll check the dust collector. Carl, yeah I wish I could afford Festool haha. For $30 I think it's a win. I'll let you know how it works out!
