Buzzy, thanks for the links man! The post about the planer comparison was hilarious! No wonder I couldn't find your ryobi on their website - I didn't even check the planer category.

Yeah, I have a Black & Decker Mouse. It was great while it worked (for about 1 yr). That damn thing can't take my abuse. You know the front part of the base where you can screw on the different little attachment heads? That damn thing broke off. It couldn't take the stress of changing the attachment shapes. I was still using it for large flat areas but now the motor doesnt run unless you take thing apart and just hold the motor in your hand. I don't know if the motor brushes are worn out or what, but it's not serviceable anyway.

So I think I'll be buying a higher grade detail sander soon....
