A Goggle search appears to back up my thought that the new 6" RO sander is a clone of the Metabo 450 Duo (A sander that I have lusted after for some time) and is made by Metabo. The specs are the same but the HD model is 2/3 the price. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge as to whither or not they are the same? Has anyone use the HD model? Thanks, JG
Honestly I have a few HF tools in my garage and in my shop... but not one of them is a heavy duty tool or a tool that sees frequent or extended use.....
Now I use my Orbital sander a lot and I sometimes use it for extended periods of time... somehow I just do not think a HF sander would be able to function very long in my shop before giving up and dying ...
It may look like a clone...but inside that sucker I have to ask ...what grade of plastic are the "guts" made out of... ?
I just never found a 40 dollar tool that compares to a 100 tool.... But like you, I guess I will always be looking for one... lol

I believe that he was asking about a Home Depot tool (i.e. HD or Rigid), not a Harbor Freight tool (i.e. HF).
