Any recommendations on a good detail or contour sander? I shopped Amazon but what I saw there in the customer reviews scared me. Any good ones, ones to avoid? I'm not looking for a lightweight hobby sander, I need something that's going to stand up for years. Thanks for your wisdom.

Fein.
Everything else is garbage.
$200 gets one.

Like Lew said: Fein
something
I agree with Lew. Fein !!!!!!!! Expensive but the best I've seen. I have one and it works great.
How does the Fein work on contours found on a typical crown molding?
I've been interested in one for a while, but haven't bit the hook.

I've seen detail sanders pop up as answers to the question "what tool do you wish you'd never bought?" more times than all other tools combined.
If, despite the collective wisdom of dozens of people who wish they didn't have a detail sander, you decide to buy one anyway, the Fein is probably the least obnoxious of the lot.

I have the Fein and the PC. I rarely use either one. I do however use the rubber tips from both. If I had to to it over, I would just buy the rubber tips, forget the machines.

Fein....but this is really just "crack" for woodworking...
Wait till you see what else it can do with all those "other" attachments....(the tile kit is $100).
It is FAR more than a detail sander....
It is one of the best tools I have ever owned.
