Good sander for the $$, only a couple of issues
I've had my B&D 7448 for a bit over 4 years. I use it a lot and use it hard. I'm impatient so I push tools hard instead of letting things take their normal course.
I've never had a problem with the paper coming out, ever. In fact, on mine it's very tight and clamps quite hard.
I wish the levers were larger.
I'd like it to be quieter - however I can't hear the sander when the vac. is running anyway and one SHOULD use hearing protection when using power tools. Like the pros on TV do :-)
As far as "how it's made", mine finally got VERY loud and ran slow and erraticly - I found the upper "brearing" is a plain sleave. The other sealed ball bearings are perfect, but the top "bushing" by the brushes is shot to heck. It's gone. Yeah, I push, but for a few cents per unit, a ball bearing here would make it quieter and make the whole unit last longer over-all.
So, out I go looking for a bearing and I'll have my favorite sander running again. (I'm a top mechanic and specialize in electrical systems - and this is the most simple power tool I've ever opened!)
It's light, easy to use and the next best sander costs over twice as much, so I can replace a couple of bearings in 10 years and still have a cheaper sander .... Takes about 5 minutes to disassemble the sander and replace the bearing - takes longer to go get the bearing.

Reliable, hard working sander
I have spent countless hours and reams of sandpaper using this sander for at least 8 years and it's still going strong (used mostly on softwood). It is powerful enough using 60 grit paper to take down dowel ends, round edges and level uneven wood height (even end grain). After 60 grit, I use 100, 150 and finally 220 grit for a perfect finish. The 1/3 sheet size gives the unit a stable footing on the work. The unit is made for two hands but you can use one hand comfortably especially with fine grits. Paper changes are pretty fast but could be easier if they made the lock levers a little bigger. The best way I found to get the paper on easier is to clamp and crease one edge first, flip the paper around, clamp the other end then attach the first pre-creased edge.

Be warned that you can expect dust to go all over the place using this unit. It is best used outdoors or like I do, with the garage door open and a fan blowing out over the work. If I do replace it, it will be to upgrade to a 1/2 sheet sander with a dust bag (at four times the price!!).

NOT FOR WOODWORKERS
I own two of these, and they both have given up the ghost. This is the first bad review of a tool that I've given here[...], But I feel that the truth should be known. First of all, this thing takes way to long time to sand down anything. Either it eats the paper too fast, or like on my second one, the clamps were not strong enough, and the paper kept falling off. Not to mention that this thing is louder than my table saw.It's been a few years since mine died, and I've come to learn one undisputable fact. If you buy a low cost tool, you'll get poor results. What upsets me is that Black and Decker knows what kind of tool this is, but they still continue to make it the same way. No improvements at all. When I compare this to what I have now, they'll never get my money again. Don't put good money after bad. If you can't afford a high dollar sander, Ryobi has got a dandy little sander at an affordable price, and it's a heck of a lot better than this one. Buy anybody's but this one, you'll be glad you did. Sorry, Black and Decker, But I call it as I see it.

Do not waste your time or money on this sander
The paper will not stay on! I repeat. The paper will not stay on. Spend more and get a product that does what it was intended to do. This product does not!

Spend more, get more
I concur with Handy Dan. The paper simply will NOT stay clamped down. After fighting with it for 3 days I took it back to the store. Other than that it was doing fairly well. I plan on spending more money to get a quality tool that will work as it should. ... Read more

Very Nice
I would recommend this tool to any handyman, I have used the sander and am very well pleased with it.

Waste of money!
Don't throw away your money! I purchased this as a backup sander to my makita ros. Any pressure placed on this sander other than its own weight will greatly decline the rpm's. After just a few hours, this sander lost all of what power it had and it now resides in the trash. It's loud and it has a terrible vibration. Take it from me, spend a few more dollars and get a makita! B & D's are nothing by throwaway tools.

Works great but poorly built
Inexpensive, light weight and works really well. What more could you ask for.... After only 2 hours of use the handle part simply fell apart. The plastic casing started to literally go to pieces. Maybe an occasional defective one that got thru inspection. Exchanged this one for a new one. Same story. I think the vibration is too much for the casing.

More than I expected
I bought this sander based on price. I thought it would help with a specific project and perhaps I would buy a "better" one later. I found this to be a great sander. It's powerful, yet smooth and I have even used it with 200 grit to sand BETWEEN coats. Now the only sander I plan to buy is something like a Mouse to get into corners

I sanded for weeks with this sander!
This is an easy to use orbit sander which can be used for refinishing desks or other projects. The 5-inch pad with Velcro brand hook & loop fasteners is so much more advanced than the ones they used to make. You can now easily change out the sandpaper when you need fine or coarse sandpaper.

The built in dust collector is a real boon. Not only did my first sander not have one....it also made me cough and left dust all over the garage. This is so much better! This is a good little sander for the casual woodworker. I have had two, my dad stole the first one I had. It sure beats those belt sanders, which cost about the same price to rent. They also pull you half way across the room! Seriously, this it so much better!

When you are refinishing, the job will be easier if you use the paint removal products first. Look for the non-toxic ones. They are out there. Then let the wood dry completely. You will then have an easier time sanding. I found a 50-year old teachers desk and finished it to perfection. You would think it was new! Yes, it took weeks of hard work, but there is nothing that makes you feel as proud as a finished product. I am sitting at the desk as I type this. All thanx to a great sander. ... Read more

easy to use
This thing is very easy to use. It is light, and the wheel turning acts like a gyroscope, steadying it. It cuts, grinds, sands and anything else you could think of without boging down. It was also very cheap. It is high quality and I expect it to last a long time. ... Read more

It's industrial-type power for the home do-it-yourselfer. The six-amp motor gives you plenty of power—up to 750 rpm—for whatever's on your do-list. Triple gear reduction means a longer tool life and more guts for heavy-duty drilling and driving tasks. We like the fact that B&D built this gear housing of metal, protecting it from an inadvertent tumble from atop a ladder. They really paid attention in ergonomics class, too—we love the soft grip handle for super comfort and extra control. The auxiliary handle rotates 360 degrees, so it's wherever you need it most. Another plus in the ergonomics department, the handle's more centered on the tool, so its overall balance is a big improvement over older models. The trigger's bigger, letting you squeeze with two fingers rather than one, something we're partial to as well. B&D threw in a couple nice touches, too, in the on-board bit storage and built-in two-way level. Great drill/driver for the homeowner or serious do-it-yourselfer.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste ...

Remember, you pay for what you get.
Buyer beware! I purchased this for myself on the 28th of December. Used it on the 29th. Returned it on the 29th. I would have given this item a zero rating, but Amazon does not offer that rating.

Although it looks like a good deal (especially since B&D's parent/associate company is DeWalt), but this children's toy is made of pure junk. After I tried the hammer setting, I spent the next fifteen minutes trying to figure out why it sounded as if the gears inside were self-destructing. Apparently that sound is 'normal'. I've used a couple contractor grade hammer drills & none I've used before ever sounded this bad.

When put to hard use, the gears that drive the chuck & bit randomly disengage, leaving the motor spinning at full speed, but not drilling. Just as randomly as the chuck stops spinning, it starts spinning again with the cacophony of gears being turned into bits of metal dust.

I have not yet purchased a new hammerdrill to replace this yet, but I plan on puchasing the Bosch or Milwaukee H/D's that are similar in features.

When I returned this to the big box hardware store (H.D.), the customer service rep said that she has had more of these B&D hammerdrills returned than any other power tool in the store... ... Read more

drill bit slippage galore
this thing couldn't hold a drill bit if it's life depended on it. it's been relegated to driving screws with the hex head.

Drill parts problems
The Black&Decker drill 04A (with 1350 rpm) operates with brushes against the motor. When they wear out parts like these are hard to find - if not impossible. The drill is two years old and has performed beautifully until now and I cannot find the part that is worn out...

Good for home
I got this tool for Christmas 2001 and I've used it a lot. I have used it for a variety of home repair uses and found it to be very well suited for those projects such as furniture assembly, hanging curtain rods, hanging blinds, bathroom fixtures such as towel racks, hanging flower boxes with larger screws into my home. Batteries work fine and last a reasonable time. I have not tried anything super heavy duty. I am very pleased witht this and plan to buy one for my sister as a house warming gift. It is heavy enough for everything I've tried but light enough to be easy to handle.

Not enough drill for a serious home repair person,
I bought this after Christmas and was snagged by the price. Only Craftman comes close to this price for a 12v.

I needed to drill and torque down a banister. After charging both batteries (over 6 hours for both). I started on the project but the drill lacked the needed torque for the lag bolts and the batteries were quickly depleted and needed another charage.

The real issue of a serious drill is torque and "Durability" of the battery(s)... With this B&D the battery charge took a very long time and then the batteries were not, using the definition for "durable" > "able to exist for a long time without significant deterioration".

IF you are a serious a serious home repair person spend the extra [price] and move up to B&D 14.4volt Firestorm Drill - both torque and battery durablity will be significantly better. ... Read more

Mine broke
I have been renovating my house, and put this saw to a great deal of use. The angle selector handle feels beefy, but if you turn the saw over, the handle connects to a thin piece of cast metal.

This is appearently not strong enough. Mine broke the other day, after about 12 months of periodic use.

Overall the saw was accurate, comfortable and fast to use. Initially the unit appears to be fairly well put together. Once it broke, I took a moment to examine the undercarraige where the failure occured. Yep. Black and Decker alright.

Having owned a few other B & D products over the years I didn't expect too much. I was hoping this product would surpass those expectations. It didn't.

Solid Performer
I bought this saw for one job only but now I use it almost every day. Cuts straight out of the box...no adjustments needed. Sure, I'd like to have one of the sliding/bevel saws, but for 1/4 the price I can buy a lot of other tools with the money I am saving (including a nice circular saw that will do the bevel cuts). The Bosch 10" slider has been sitting in my Amazon shopping cart for a while now, but I just can't bring myself to take the plunge because the Black and Decker does the job. (I must confess that I don't do a lot of moldings).

Four stars only because I wish it had a few more features, but I would give it a full five stars for value.

A Great Start to a Basic Miter Table System
If you are looking for a basic miter table system, then this is your saw. The powerful 3 hp, 15 amp motor will get you thru almost any type of wood. The tall fence will hold pieces up to 4 1/2 inches securely. The pre-indexing of the common angle cuts is nice. Overall, a nice basic saw.

Now what it is missing. A short table base requires to add or build table extentions or don't try to cut anything over 3 feet long by yourself. No intergrated stop block system. Compound cuts have to be done with two different setups, this is NOT a compound cut saw, or a sliding saw. The side handle is nice, though.

If you plan on doing any above basic cuts or any length over 3 feet, then you might want to look at the Black and Decker BT1500 with compound capablity and table extentions included.

UNBELIEVABLE !
I NEVER SAW A BETTER MITER SAW FOR THE MONEY.
THIS IS SURELY THE BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK..

The Double Action DustBuster cordless vac offers all the extras of previous DustBusters, but with more oomph per feature. The exclusive Double Action DustBuster filter now lasts three times longer, the 13.6-ounce bowl holds 70 percent more dirt and debris, and the unit comes with a crevice tool for reaching into narrow spaces and an upholstery brush for gathering dirt and hair. The extra tools are stored conveniently onboard, making it a whole lot more difficult to lose them in the closet. Like DustBusters of the past, this one charges in a wall-mounted base for grab-and-go convenience. Your dirt won't stand a fighting chance. --Rivers Janssen ... Read more

Another piece of Dustbuster junk.
Don't waste your money on this or any other "dustbuster" vaccum. This is the 3rd one I've owned, lukily it was a gift, so I didn't waste my money on it. The problem is that Black & Decker still uses NiCad batteries, which develop a memory if you don't completely discharge before you recharge (and when do you ever do that with a dustbuster?) The result is a vaccum that works OK for about 6 months, but then works for about 1-2 minutes before the battery goes dead. For a few pennies more they could use a NiMH battery pack, and maybe this thing would work. Until then, I reccoment a corded Dirt Devil Scorpion. Having to pull an extension cord is well work having a vaccum that actually works.

Worst thing ever made!!!
I got this as a present because I wanted a dust buster so I could vaccum my truck out. This thing never ever stays charged!! It also cant even suck up anything. A waste of money!!! I now own a shop Vac!!!!

DISPOSABLE Duster
Black&Decker should mention in LARGE print that although this vacuum is rechargeable, the rechargeable battey eventually loses its charge and is not replaceable -- mine lasted less than a year (I used it 10 minutes a week on average). Unfortunately, I recycled the battery pack before I learned I needed it to get a replacement unit under the warranty. Also, B&D website was dense and hard to navigate. I had to contact their phone support (which only operates M-F) to find out I had worthless piece of garbage. I would recommend another model or, for me, another brand.

Same as labmommy
I agree with labmommy--great product but short life! After only a few months of having it (and cleaning it diligently) the motor stopped running. I tried everything--charging it, looking at the motor, and it's dead. I might as well just go to Sam's or Wal-Mart where I can at least return it without much hassle. Good thing this was only $30.

Powerful and Does the Job
This is a great little gadget that every household could use. I dont even own a dust pan anymore because after I sweep I just suck up all the dust with this.It's not bad to clean either..just take it apart, shake out dirt in trash, run parts uder hot water (the parts that can get wet) and dry. Not hard to reassemble. The only thing keeping me from rating it at 5 stars is I get annoyed reconnecting it to the charging base. I never seem to get it on the first try..has to be lined up just right. ... Read more
