Hi, I have a RO125 and planning to purchase another sander. I have shortlisted the ETS125, DTS or RTS. I am leaning towards the DTS or RTS since I think it will complement the RO very well. Any input is welcome.
 
DTS full stop. I've just recently purchased it as my second sander after my RO125. Corners = DTS; General = Rotex. It is a great combo.

They go very well together. In fact some times I think the DTS sands smoother than the rotex!  [scared]
 
+1 here too.

I have the RO 125 and got the DTS for just details, but I use it more than the rotex.  So small, light, and powerful, and leaves a mirror like finish.

The getting in to tight corners is just icing on the cake.
 
Alright, this should be enough by now, but here's another vote for the DTS hands down.  A rotex plus a DTS is as perfect as a combo you can get if you're just going to have two sanders in your arsenal.
 
Thanks guys. DTS it is.Now I need to figure out a way to sneak in a DTS past the wife :)
 
Buy them both.

I have both the RTS and the DTS (and the ETS(125) is also available to me)

The DTS isn't really a triangle (I thought it was at first). The RTS is nice for working on all kinds of small stuff that doesn't have a corner in more than one dimension. There is plenty of use for that if you live in a European style 1930's home. Lots and lots of wood: casings, doors, gutters, shutters, balconies.

Tell your wife it's a consumable item. And that your Rotex will last longer because of this purchase.  [wink]

I had the RTS before I got the DTS but now that I have the DTS I never use the RTS anymore. More or less obsolete for what I do. I'm thinking about selling it again. The Deltex doesn't get much use either anymore. The DTS is a lot nicer.
