"I replaced a Porter Cable 333 with this unit. I wore the 333 out. I sand a fair amount of house trim. The RIDGID was cheaper, has a nice case, 8 holes rather than 5 and has a slightly nicer feel. It gets closer to the edges of a wall without modification, as I had to do with the 333. A better warranty too.

"I researched sanders for several weeks before deciding on the R2600. I really liked all the features that RIGID includes with its products.
