I'm using a conventional 9.6 volt Panasonic cordless drill for power sanding
with no complaints. Actually, it works pretty well. On the high range top
speed is 1500 rpm, which is plenty fast for sanding. I had the battery
rebuilt at a Batteries Plus for half the cost of a new one. Does anyone
else use a conventional drill for sanding?

The expensive drills also fail, mostly due to accumulation of sawdust
inside. Friends of mine have paid more for repairing them than the total
cost of your "economy-priced" drill.
