It's been in my possession for six months. The tool is excellent for its price, it has enough power and doesn't stutter or get stuck when you press it. I have worked with it on wood, which it cuts like butter, as well as for cutting various metal pipes and surfaces where it didn't encounter any problems. I wasn't impressed with the triangular attachment for sanding with sandpaper on wood, but it helped me in difficult areas when sanding metal railings.
