The sander is light and saved us hours of time. I am sure it would be fine for the average man. I like that it fits perfectly in my small hand. Save me money, do the job well and look good. The suction fan on this sander does all of the work.

Festool RS 2 E Final Thoughts
"Easy to change paper."
The sander is light and saved us hours of time. Very nice of them to include a 80 grit sheet. I also love that I can get rubber pads cheaply. Red oak and teak are what I sanded today. That means fewer scratches and a smoother finish.
