Would be perfect if you didn't have to wait 12hrs to sand it, but still an excellent product

This product is excellent for certain jobs with one caveat. It takes 12hrs (at 72F or so) to cure enough to sand, and 24hrs to fully cure (though you can paint it prior to full cure, as it doesn't require evaporation). But if you are used to Bondo which hardens in minutes and therefore adds no extra time to your job, PC Woody will add a an extra full day.

That said, it breathes with the wood so it won't pull away like Bondo will. And another pro it has over Bondo, it doesn't have any smell whatsoever. And of course, it also has a much longer working time. Because it's wetter than Bondo it can also be worked into deeper crevices. Bondo is like working with bubble gum so it's hard to work into a deep void. PC Woody is more like cookie batter that can easily be pushed into places.

All in all, it's something my tool shed will never be without. For the right job, it can't be beat. I repaired an old door jamb with this and it was excellent. The jamb looks brand new and it really does dry harder than wood. But it is inconvenient that a job can't be finished in a single day.

I found the same problem as other reviewers, namely that the sanding pad to which you attach the sand paper melts after a few minutes of use, rendering the sanding finger useless! This is true for all models of this pad (i.e. models RW9147, 9148, and the "heavy duty" 9149). When I contacted Rockwell about the problem (which was a bit of an ordeal in itself), the company was unaware of the problem and didn't have a fix. Unfortunately, since I want to use the Sonicrafter mainly for sanding, this reduces its usefulness to "paperweight" status.
This problem also occurs with the larger triangular sanding pads, although they seem to last a bit longer (perhaps an hour or two of light use).

I've used many different "vinyl" car wrap kits and this product is one of the best by a good margin.

Very easy to work with, reapply and maneuver even after solid mistakes it was relatively forgiving.

The wrap looks great much better than most

The disappointing aspect was that of the vinyl being sensitive to waxes, polish, and detailing sprays or finishers. It becomes very fade and worn looking if any product at all is accidently wiped into, onto or over the vinyl. 3M claims that you can treat it as you would the paint on your vehicle. Well I personally use a plethora of products to keep and maintain the paint on my car and it is NOT a good idea to do this to the actual wrap as it's immediately rendered ugly and beat up in appearance.

3M? You guys could do better and the claim that when appling the vinyl you are able to "slide" it into position before it adheres is not anywhere near the truth I found it to be almost magnet like in response to getting near the surface and when laid upon the vehicle there was zero "sliding" into place.

All said and done its a good buy and better than most yet by nol means perfect.

I am happy with the product however I did have to cut the fabric on 3 sides of the main panel in order for it to lay flat. I tried taping the ripple down the middle flat but there's just too much fabric and a loose fitting puzzle will not stay together with that movement. Otherwise it's exactly as expected. Keep in mind shipping from the UK took 3 weeks rather than 5 days as initially stated.

I really needed this by the 14th and it was a Prime product. I don't know what took it so long but I gave it 3 stars because it works wonderfully and has great attachments,  but I actually had to go buy one from Joann Fabrics for 20.00 to use since mine didn't come in time.

I purchased this sander for a specific job, and 20 hours in I am very happy with it. The front, top, and trigger grips make it very easy to control even with an aggressive grit sandpaper. I do wish the back of the handle would have been rubber padded like the top and front grip. When sanding overhead or on a vertical surface, I used that handle a lot and it started to chafe my hand between thumb and forefinger despite good gloves.

To my surprise, a 35mm vacuum adapter was included. I recommend making use of this. The included filter works well but gets clogged quickly. I emptied it after every 30 minutes of use. There is a trick to opening the filter for cleaning. Use your thumb while bracing the end of the dust collection bin against a surface. I also found that the speed dial gets bumped once in a while, probably while removing the dust bin.

I expect this sander to last many years given the build quality. I wish I'd bought it sooner.

The product works very well and I will not repeat what others have said.  Please be aware that for the dust to be vacuumed, there must be holes in the media used for sanding.  Hence, the tool is designed to be used with Hyde's proprietary sanding screens.  These screens cost $40 for 25 replacement screens.  You will need to replace one after sanding for 1 hour or less.  You can use traditional sandpaper but you must punch holes all around and unfortunately this work around is not as effective as using the screens.  So the cheap tool price is the easy entry point to get you to buy screens (think ink jet printers and ink cartridges).  So although the tool works great, you get roped into buying expensive sanding material.

This is a great product, but can be a little tricky to use since the ends tend to unravel as the wires are fed through.  As supplied, the braid at the ends is heat sealed together, but it is necessary to cut off that part to insert any bundle of wires larger than 1/4".

The trick is to keep the unraveled part short enough that it will be covered by heat-shrink tubing applied to the ends.  I found that I could use a rolled-up strip of paper as a funnel to insert the bundle of wires.  That reduced the tendency to unravel.  It might also be helpful to apply painters' tape temporarily.

When apply the heat-shrink tubing, I rolled a small strip of paper around the end of the braid, then inserted it into the tubing and pulled the paper out. The tubing should be about an inch long, half on the braid and half in direct contact with the wires.

Overall I was very pleased with the results, and I'm sure this gets easier with practice.

This is a great product and works as described. My only difficulty (and hence the reason for the 4 stars) is it is difficult to fill it with the full amount of sand it is listed as holding, it would be great if it had some way to make it easier to fill up. This is important as we initially had about 60 lb of sand in it and our umbrella still went over. We eventually got more sand in and that made the difference.

Filling it was a 2-person job, one scooping small amounts of sand, the other person holding the bag open and shifting the sand in the bag around to make more room. I found that I had to pack the sand in the bag down to make more room.

This makes the job of sanding almost tolerable...I said almost

Overall this is a very good product and a great price.  The item itself is well made though while assembling many items that needed to be "lined up" seemed to be 1 or 2 mm off.  Once I got it together was very happy with the results.  I am a bit spoiled by the PRIME membership though and assumed it would arrive in 2 days...my fault for not reading the fine print in that it was air freight and would take a bit longer.  The shipping company claimed they left a message to set up a delivery time but I never received a message on my home or cell phone.  I ended up having to contact the carrier and later contact Amazon directly to get a timely delivery that was still a few days later than the estimated delivery (I suppose because I didn't respond to the "message" the carrier left).  Now that I have it and it is assembled and mounted no complaints, if you need it to arrive in time for the "big game" or such be careful to ask about shipping though.

Excellent product.  Shipping took forever, but worth the wait if you don't need it right away

Awesome tool and I have already used on a number of projects with much success.  Only complaint with most of these sanders is there is no way to sand tighter edges on things.  Would be great if you could sand in notches and get part right up against the belt.

UPDATE: Adding pics for question I answered about table adjustability.

You will need to sand it before you do anything with it.  Otherwise, nice product for the price.

I had a rotting door sill and trim that I rebuilt with this product.  It worked great!  It does take a full 24 hours to cure completely, but then it is fully sandable and takes an oil primer excellently.  My only complaint is that it's very sticky, so is kind of tricky to shape because it sticks to the putty knife and creates drag marks.  The solution to this is to overfill a bit and sand it down.  There are probably better ways, but that's what I did.  In short, I found this product up to my expectations and fully recommend it.

very good product, but took TOO LONG from order time to be shipped. Caused me problems scheduling my repairs.

Very happy with the final result! Much easier that I expected - just be prepared for lots of sanding! Careful on the edges though. A thick base coat is definitely important!
