Designed for the professional carpenter, remodeler, or general contractor; the MILWAUKEE M12 FUEL 3" Random Orbital Detail Sander combines the power and efficiency to sand the toughest materials on site while the compact pad size allows for delicate, controlled sanding during the installation of trim, railings or other refinishing applications. This sander delivers precise removal for spot sanding, more control and maneuverability, and over 80% dust collection. Ergonomically engineered the sander has greater access to hard-to-reach areas and active dust extraction for minimal dust build-up with the versatility to utilize the included bag or universal hose adapter. The sander features a random orbital sanding motion with a 3/32" orbit diameter to deliver a clean, consistent stain-grade surface finish, a variable speed trigger with a lock-on button, and four-speed settings from 10K - 4K for control across a wide variety of materials. The lightweight design at 2 lbs provides unmatched maneuverability and reduced fatigue when used across multiple orientations. The adjustable On/Off LED light bar illuminates 270 degrees for maximum visibility of the work area. The optional sponge pad allows the abrasive to contour to the work surface when working with complex trim profiles, while the pad saver protects against heat buildup to extend the life of the backing pad. The 3" Random Orbital Sander is backed by Milwaukee's industry-leading 5-year limited power tool warranty.

I've got this and honestly it's a disappointment, and I really wanted it to be the rotex 90 killer for me.
The detail sander is absolutely phenomenal but this one just seems to have poor removal rates, even in the highest mode and with high grits, and the dust collection is poorer than I expected, and I did not expect much.
That said it is still okay for touching up spackle on paint repair or covering nail holes and I do use it with the soft pad sometimes when w very light touch is needed, but this is one of the few m12 tools I have been a bit let down by.

Damn....thanks for the heads up. I've been waiting for a ~$100 or less deal for this tool, but I guess i'll lower my cutoff way lower to give it a shot. Maybe $60 or less
