How Are You Using The RTS 400?

[onocoffee]

My friend and I were discussing sanders today. We've got similar inventory of sanders: ETS 125, ETS EC 150/3, RO 90, RO 150, DTS 400 - and we were talking about what sanders might be good to add and the RTS 400 came up. When I got the DTS 400, I thought it would be more of a novelty that I would use occasionally to get into tight spaces, but I use it a lot more than I anticipated. What we don't really see is how the RTS 400 fits in. When and How are you all using your RTS?

Thanks

Depends how you use them. If you do e.g. a lot of doors, panels, etc. the RTS' rectangular shape is usually a better fit as the DTS will wear out the corners of the paper pretty quick; the RTS wears out more evenly along the entire length of the sandpaper. If it comes to getting into tight corners I'll prefer my DTS any day though and I'm quite happy with having only that one.

Trim (shaker style). Drywall. Paired with the HSK hand sanders. Usually running the high grits after spraying in place.
