  Great review Ben. I love the part about the “Going broke rate”! Absolutely so true and a good affirmation to younger contractors to set their rates on their cost of doing business. There will always be someone doing it for less; let them go broke! 👍

  Ben (I think I have your name correct)...this heartfelt review absolutely provided value to me. I ordered the Festool PLANEX LHS 2 225 EQI-Plus several days ago and it just arrived today. I&apos;m not taking it out of the box yet, though, because I&apos;m having trouble finding the 577101 hose it requires. No one seems to have it in stock at the moment. That hose comes with the CT36 dust collector, but I already have the CT26 that I bought several years ago. Frankly, I didn&apos;t realize the hose did not come with the sander when I ordered it, and I think it should be included, since it&apos;s made for that particular sander. In the meantime, I enjoyed your comments and your review. I now have a better idea of what to expect if I ever get to use my sander!

  This is a very effective commercial. &nbsp;I trust and respect your opinion, &nbsp;and if I was in the market for this kind of tool, &nbsp;this video would have great weight. Festool got their money&apos;s worth with you. Great work, better than any million dollar ad I&apos;ve seen on tv

  “Going broke rate” is genius…worth the watch just for that quote/idea today.

  Please remember, it’s the dust you don’t see that does the damage. Good job on the video.

  I sent this right to my dad. &nbsp;He sold his Festool after about 1 year of use with similar complaints. &nbsp;Thanks!

  Harness is a game-changer. All of sudden I started to like sanding ceilings. With the harness you can do 90 sqm in one go. And it doesn&apos;t leave your arms near-death exhausted.

  Ben, Thank You for your thoughts on the tool..I watched the whole 17min video &nbsp;&amp; probably never buy one since I only do minor drywall repairs. I still enjoyed your rambling threw the video. Keep up the good work &amp; see you in your next video!!

  I absolutely love mine, I save time sanding out jobs and on clean up at the end of the jobs. Also I do a fair amount of insurance jobs where the clients are living in the job and they always appreciate how dust free it is on sanding day

  Many years ago, I learned: as a pro, a festool tool is worth the money, hands down. And I&apos;m not even a pro. The price is high, but the value is even way higher. (I&apos;m a modest DIY woodworker)
