Absolute junk

What cheap junk! When I first got this it worked as rough as the plungers, but since this was my first rodeo in the world of palm grinders I just thought maybe that's how they run. All I sanded was drywall dirt, but I found it just okay. After running the mill for a relatively short time, the head came off completely (pardon my terminology if it's a bit off) - I think the bearings were bad. I called Makita and told them it was still under warranty and that I had purchased an extended warranty from Revain. The representative said I would have to pay for shipping and return for repair. No, it won't. I told him I would file a complaint against Makita instead. Miraculously they said they could make an exception and cover the shipping costs both ways. Some good old American workers fixed it and made it work as it should. It was a few months ago. Fast forward to my drywall project and you can see that the dust collector (which never worked properly) works by itself and doesn't collect any dust at all. What is Makita's spell? That's right -- an even dirtier mess than the mess that usually sands drywall. Thanks Makita Thank you for giving me a top price for a piece of junk that doesn't beat the performance of the unnamed Harbor Freight brand. I will be contacting Makita to request that they return this product for a full refund and Revain have refunded me the extended warranty.
