I bought a Ryobi hand held belt sander for a short job. Figured I could give it to the homeowner when the job was done. It burned out before the job was finished and I ended up sanding by hand. Job finished and the home owner asked me about the belt sander I had promised. I laughed. "Didn't you see me out there sanding down stuff by hand? I threw that thing in the trash after it burned out."
