I was completely unprepared for it - pulled it out of the van and half
the length of the
cord and plug were missing. Dangling out the door and getting caught
on something
I drove by is a definite possibility. Anyway, I like the 59.00 Makita
- it's nice and light, and has
orbital action and variable speed. The Bosch I'll keep in the shop and
the Makita
will stay in the truck.
