Festool Planex Easy Drywall Sander LHS-E 225 EQ-CB

I’ve sanded three rooms of drywall this week and my shoulder isn’t screaming like it used to—the counterbalance really does take the weight off. The dust extraction keeps the air clear enough that I can actually see my work line by line, which alone saves me from redoing corners.

The dust extraction on this thing is a game changer—I barely had to wipe down the room after sanding the ceiling. It's got some weight to it, but the balance makes it manageable even for overhead work.

The vibration-reduced handle makes a full day of ceiling work genuinely tolerable, and the carbide grit pad still cuts through joint compound like butter after three jobs. Setup took me under five minutes out of the box, which never happens with pro gear.
