It held up and kept up with the Festool. Would give it more stars if I had that option. Works as it should Works will in my shop. 5 years but we literally run this thing into the ground. This was the easiest part of the entire process.

Festool 574993 Final Thoughts
"Just as described."
Not cheap, but much better than the pain. This feels and runs like a precision tool. So i guess i'd be back on Amazon real soon! When I returned, the sander had gone to tool heaven. Beyond that, I like the tool and does the job.
