I’m thinking you will never knock off those monster edges without tearing the hell out the paper your gonna need a 40 grit to knock down that mess. I can’t see using any mechanical sander without dust collection. Fire the guy that left coat hangers KIDDING. I’ll stay tuned for demo
I got the mirka for 1,100 but one of the guys got it for 700 make sure you use that as bargaining chip if you buy it for your Sherman Williams rep. At least see if they could thrown in the extension pole etc...
I have used both. Mirka is lighter but the motor has significantly more vibration. The abernet system in good but the hose connection to the leros is bad compared to festool. The bag for the Leros offers very little protection as well. I bought the leros and thankfully was able to return it because the NEW planex is being released shortly in the states, it has lights on the unit! Personally I highly recommend staying away from mirka for this particular tool
Hahaha its funny cuz I coated it as ugly as possible and wrote yikes in the mud myself. I was planning on showing how much mud the sanders can take off but the hot mud didn't dry.
Haha stoked you found it half the guys that watch the vid think I don't know how coat hahaha. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QW15L34h47M.html
I told you, that you'd like it, its in a class of it own. I got mine for $960.00 Canadien, about & $700.00 american. He said it was a introduction price. I might be the first person in western Canada that bought one.
Key thing about festool is you don’t like the product they take is back no questions asked. Don’t know about the old festool sander but the new one is sweet
To me any sander can do the job, just need to get used to it, i being tried most of them except this mirka, and the one that makes job better is porter cable with the dewalt self cleaning vac, you need to use a different backing pad than original dough
That was my first purchase. I still use the Dewalt vac with all my new sanders. That being said once you use the Mirka especially on ceilings its a huge difference since the head has a 180 degree range. Like you said whatever works best for you is what matters. 🤙🏽
@@csdrywallhawaii i being using porter cable, but i always want to try or buy the festool, do you recommended? Or do tou think is it better than porter cable? Since you have tried all
Jose Angel I have the porter. It’s heavy plus the size of the damn thing. How do you sand a closet or average 5x8 bathroom without banging walls and gouging mud. I switched to the festool Planex just for the simple fact it’s compact. You add extensions for taller ceilings if desired. I’m 6’ so I can do 8’ ceilings with it in shortest length. I never tried festools easy sand. But it looks long. Wouldn’t want it if I had to fit into small closets or powder rooms. I’m digging this Mirka. Love the swivel on the pad against the ceiling. Interesting thing is the planex I bought 5-6 years ago was the same price. I’d buy the Mirka if buying a sander now.
Looking to get one I'm gonna go with dewalt since I have a lot of good batteries already. Oh and please tell me your guys left that edge so you could show how they can knock down that edge.lol
Hey, nice video. Just a qiuck tip on the Mirka, u have too place it on the surface and then start it. They have also made some changes to the pad, so reach out to Mirka and they will supply u with the new pad if U havent already got it.
With all power sanders when you place them down while they are turned on, do so while moving across the wall or ceiling as you touch down.... ALWAYS.... turning them on while stationary is not going to give you the best results either.
its mirka all the way for me , i have the leros, deros & have just received shipment of the new deos delta , will be trying it out shortly & putting up a video on it too , already have 1 on here from a couple of years ago of the leros , i always use with the 1025l l class dust extractor , i cant fault any mirka item i have bought 💪👌
@@bobseguin2195 maybe just adjust your bid to accommodate a vaccum bag. 5 pack is only 43 bucks. Like I said your jeopardizing your health. That dust gets thru your mask I promise you that Bob.
I got mine off my sherman williams rep. Also available online. csrbuilding.com/products/mirka-leros-9-in-drywall-sander-dust-extractor-combo-package-mca-lerosdenet
Compra el abarnet de mirka dura much mas y va ser el major papel para la espiradora. El joist, full circle y feestool papel de leja no functionan muy bien con el mirka. Pero is lo quieres usar le tienes que quitar el sanding pad.
I dont understand the appeal of cordless drywall sander... No matter what you still have the vac hose so you are still not "cordless" unless you are not using dust collection and thats no good. Plus it adds the extra weight of the battery. Every ounce counts by the end of the day. Lightweight, maneuverability, no gouging, and good dust collecting is the name of the game with drywall sanders. Not sure what took so long for someone to develop it but it looks like Mirka knocked it out of the park.
@@lgbfjbsupporter5566 I agree with you a 100% me buddee, the appeal to me is the lack of plug ins in a lot of the new home projects but not at the expense of extra weight or the finish job the sander can pull off
Does the mirka get the inside corners good? The festool has that removable plastic guard, or is it like porta cable were you still have to hand sand inside corners
Yes DO IT ! I've been pole sanding for over 2 years with a pole doing houses alone and this machine his magic. Just make sure you get one where the builder had the intelligence to not pu the motor on top of the spinning head.....the Porter Cable at 500$ seems to be the best, most balanced electric sander there his. I have the PowerPro 2100 which I bought for the balance, I prefer the head swivel of the Powerpro 1850 but it skips so what the hell lol.
@@csdrywallhawaii would've been nice to demonstrate the sanding of nice skimmed edges and zoom up close so the audience could see the results, thank you for your time of making these videos 👍
I seen it on Instagram a little but couldn't find the original video anywhere online. Looks like it got released in Europe already. Hopefully it doesn't take that look to make it over here the Mirka leros took about 2 years.
I was thinking about getting the Festool planex easy. I’m now looking at getting the Mirka Leros. Also Festool is coming out with the regular Planex 2... the updated version of the old planex. Brushless motor etc. I wonder how the Planex 2 compares to the Leros.
C&S DRYWALL LLC. Hawaii - I just watched it. It collects 98% of the dust on the edge I saw a little plume of Sheetrock dust. I think the double hose helps. It’s highly maneuverable and you stood it straight up and sanded the ceiling. I’m pretty sure the Festool planex would jump and gouge if you tried that.
Having watched possibly every RU-vid comparison of the two I'd say the general consensus is that the Mirka wins hands down. BUT, the Deros has (had) some serious reliability issues, which Mirka won't acknowledge. We can only assume they're (or already have) working on fixing that. But since they can't declare having fixed a problem they won't admit existed in the first place I personally don't dare to buy it..
Brother where should I buy my sander and vacuumed. I’m a little contractor now retired doing lots of work to make my old lady happy. I don’t know if I should get festool
I thought the same thing about the festool. I was so disappointed in my festool after i bought it. I only break it out for removing popcorn. Its way over priced at $750 and just destroys my joints. My wen sander does 10 times better job then the festool and only costed $125.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I4JwFXQfZ18.html Heres a real review that was more like a fail experiment. If you look closely I purposely wrote
150 paper grit for any house...all the way till the end....does perfect jobs.......and stop using the machine on max speed you wont get circles....use it on lowest speed with 150 and walk with it and its a 1 pass. Also, people with level 5 sanding jobs dont take those kinda jobs anymore...what are you doing there ? hahaha
So he uses two sanders then comments the muds still moist. Using highest setting only. Barely uses the Mirka and says it’s his preferred unit. Didn’t have sand paper holes aligned with the base. Dust everywhere. Sorry, is he a plumber by trade? Mirka may be good but no way is it better than festool
First of all, I think you meant spackling. Which spackling compound is special purpose compound meant to be used to fill dents and dings on primed or painted surfaces. For that purpose, nothing works better. I always recommend Red Devil one time brand. Best on the market. In most cases spackling compound is only used by painters. Works WAY BETTER than regular compound on painted or primed surfaces. Trust me, I have been a practicing drywall hanger/ finisher for 39 yrs. So in other words…You may want to learn the trade, before you throw advice out there. Especially when it comes to drywall. Hands on is the ONLY WAY this trade is learned. WORD
