I have several electric grinders and this is my favorite places to use it. This is a 1/3 disc sander, which means you can cut three separate sheets of sandpaper for one sander from a standard size sheet of sandpaper. What I particularly like is that it doesn't lose traction on sheets of sandpaper during use. Great for use on wood but I don't recommend using it on drywall, drywall dust ruined the motor in one of mine.
