I checked many revues on this item, some were great and others not so. I am a professional painter and usually use air tools in my shop, but sometimes I"m not at the shop. I have burned out several electric sanders including my last SKIL brand. This sander is powerful regardless of the amp rating. it has a great feel in the hand and gets it done for sure. Price was right for what it is and I like porter cable tools, even if they are not the same as they used to be.

nice little sander. the dust catcher falls off immediately. Probably use a short sheet metal screw through it to hold it on. This is a product flaw never corrected by Porter Cable. foolish approach from them. I have owned several of these models so other than the stupid dust catcher pretty flawless. I have several other sanders costing more but they all seem to have missed the mark on dust management.

I'm a retired craftsman with over 35-years in many trades. I have used an extensive variety of Porter-Cable products. I used to utilize this 5-inch palm finishing sander in my shop and out on the many job-sites. This little powerhouse is a great product that outperforms many other brands. I haven't had one in a while now but when I did need one, I purchased this one and was once again, reunited with a loyal and dependable friend!

I had an original 333 model that I have had for thirty years. Always a great sander, but the one flaw on it was the dust catcher never worked. Thought it might work on the newer model, but no, so I drilled a hole and put a screw through it with a lock nut so it would not vibrate off.

Work horse! Have used this as part of several large sanding jobs and it just keeps going. Quality tool!Helpful Hint!If you want to really control the dust, I would recommend hooking up a shop vac to the dust collection attachment on the sander.I am using a cheap Home Depot "Bucket Head Shop Vac" snapped onto a 5 gallon bucket. Remove the dust collection bag from the sander and set aside. The Bucket Head hose slides onto dust outlet, secure with a little tape. Run the vacuum at the same time you are sanding. This GREATLY reduces the amount of dust created.

I am a long-time fan of Porter-cable tools, and this is the first time I was disappointed by a tool purchase from them. I have had three 300-series random orbit sanders in the past and they all gave great service, had excellent ergonomics, and showed excellent fit and finish. To be sure, this sander does a job fully the equal of those earlier models and has two new features I appreciate--it has a soft start so it doesn't jump out of your hand on start-up, and an improved spring-stretched dust collection bag that looks to be better than the older sintered plastic collectors. The Amazon price is good as well. My gripe is with the fit and finish. There is no reason my hand should have to deal with sharp plastic edges in either of the two grip positions, but you can't avoid them. In previous models P-C was careful to relieve the edges to maintain grip comfort, but in the 382 in both the upper and lower positions you will have to grab sharp arrises and seams. This might seem like a small issue, but in a vibrating tool like this you will soon feel the bite! Even the power switch is ringed by a sharp edge. This might not matter if you use it only a few minutes at a time, but my home shop sanding tasks sometimes stretch on for hours. I remedied this deficiency with about ten minutes of effort scraping and sanding down all the edges and seams in the grip and switch areas, and now the ergonomics is a lot better. The new tool looks like it's been through the trenches, but the improved feel in the hand is worth it. Had Porter-Cable put in the effort instead of leaving it to me to finish their job, I would have ranked it 4 or 5 stars.

This sander is the best electrical unit available as far as I have seen. All others are too bulky and/or heavy to use. I have a lot of experience using this type of sander. Only ones better are air powered which require a high volume of air supply. Highly recommended

this is a replacement porter cable sander for one I used a lot over the years. The other was a true workhorse that's why I bought the same brand. The first one had hundreds and hundreds of hours and was dropped more times than I can remember. Happy so far with the new one. Very little vibration
