It's on special buy, normally up around $90. Lowest I've seen it in store in quite awhile, also eligible for free shipping. Buying straight from Home Depot, so no issues / questions on LSA.

This is currently $79 at directoolsoutlet (DTO) for factory blemished, which gives an indication how good a deal it is brand new, with free shipping from local HD for $20 less. I know DTO occasionally gets down around the $40 mark but there's still shipping on top, and I can't seem to jump on it in time (and it's been quite awhile).

There are also some discount gift card deals going on - I used Chase Ultimate Rewards for 10% off a HD gift card to make it slicker. Hope this helps someone, I got mine ordered showing delivery by 5/18.

This sander is a piece of shit. I'm on my 3rd replacement and they all do the exact same thing - pull SUPER hard. You can't sand where you want to sand you have to sand where the sander pulls or it chatters and vibrates beyond usability. Idk what people are doing that they say it's "great" but I have to assume it's the lightest of work ever.
I already have a couple corded sanders, this thread was for a cordless sander. The position that I should trust a Ridgid tool review from someone who didn't purchase the Ridgid tool is... unique.

If you don't like their tools, cool, there's a color for everyone - but the brand is the first word in the thread title. Cordless sanders just seem like a weird thing to try trolling folks over.
I have this and I also agree that this is not a good orbital sander.

You can see it doesn't stack up well against other brands in the Project Farm testing:

Idk guys, I'll throw my hat into the ring. I got this sander about a month ago and have used it on everything from motorcycle tanks, to wood, to copper plates, and it has done everything I wanted. My only minor complain is its a little heavy. I didn't think I'd want battery power, but it has come in handy a few times for me. For $59, it's well worth it
