I've used my pneumatic sanders all day, 6 to 7 hours a day every day for weeks on end, they are still like new.

The rebuild in the link I posted was on a 'very well used' tool- sounded like it was 10+yrs in the shop, and perhaps second-hand when the author bought it. So the Dynabrades are definitely more rugged than the usual electric sander!

Thanks also for the oiler thoughts...something to consider ..... the autobody guys must all use exhaust hose to keep the work area clean??

Bill: What size air lines (hose) are you using for your air sander? I tried using my (new ) 3" mini air-sander today and it would hardly run with the 1/4" hose, a little better with the 3/8 (fatter and shorter) hose. (My hard air plumbing is 1/2").
