The top and waist grips were excellent. The dust canister was reasonably effective and can be rotated around the tool body. Vibration was the least among the tools tests.
Pros: Ergonomic grips, wide speed range, effective pad brake, minimal vibration, excellent location of controls.
Cons: Dust-canister fit was too tight, which made emptying a hassle.
