I paid $25 for mine but I saw them Two months ago at Menards. WEN. I simply don't know how this can be beat for the price. The variable speed is a real pleasure to use after using another ROS I have without it. I have been through one boat and some other projects with out any problems. Another big money saver is to quit using the velcro type sander discs and go to the mastic coated discs. And then when they are starting to loose their grip just pull off and spray the sander pad and disc with mastic and re-atach. Much cheaper and last much longer.
