Lever' failed. Upon returning to Bunnings I received a new replacement. I based my purchase on the type and amount of my timber projects. Plus I had remaining 75x533mm sanding belts at home.
While this product is basic, e.g. no variable speed setting I did not require all the bells and whistles of operation. Belt Fitting was required on the first Ozito, yet the replacement Ozito sander it was not required as it ran beautifully. Cleaning is a must during and after usage... Best not to over heat this tool...
My initial thoughts were to purchase the (5* rated) Makita 9924DB, however upon feeling the weight I changed my mind.

There is no resale value either, because as soon as customers realise how useless it is for typical woodworking, they will not buy it.
Save your money and buy a more respected brand with a larger motor.
