I bought it in 2016. It's not one of the tools I use daily, but when the time comes to use it, I don't let it out of my hands all day. Although I'm satisfied with its handle, if I were to buy one now, I would choose the rupes skorpio because its handle is more ergonomic and also much lower. It is perfectly balanced, with zero vibrations and very quiet. I can't say that it heats up significantly, reasonable temperatures. In combination with an electric vacuum cleaner, you can even work in a closed room. I am also very satisfied with its power. Personally, I even have some left over. I have used it with sandpaper from 36 to 400 and I have no complaints. The pad it has is fantastic. I would prefer it with a few more holes, but even with the ones it has, it's fine. Overall, it has a very sturdy construction and is reliable!
