Default Sanding bottom .. tool question

If you have a heavy build up to remove or smooth, you need one of
these with a 7 inch foam pad and stick on disks:

Good tool but much too heavy for bottom sanding.(Just had mine stolen)

Better choice is a Milwaukee 0-2800 sander/polisher (also stolen) with
an 8" foam pad and 3M "Green StikIt" discs available in boxes of 25
from any decent marine supply house.

A 6" ROS /w/ 80 grit does a nice clean up job.

I like a 3727 Bosch with disks from Klingspor.

YMMV
