Random Orbit Sanders and Accessories

The 343K from Porter Cable is an improvement on the 333 model, which was a decent sander in it's own right. This sander sports a powerful 3 Amp motor, which provides more than enough umph to get the job done. The rubber grip does a nice job of absorbing the machine's vibration, so your hands do not tire easily. This is a nice improvement from the 333. The dust canister has a tendency to fall off, which was not a problem for the 333. But there is a multi-size vacuum hose attachment, which may make the canister a non-issue for most people anyway. One other change worth mentioning is that the 343K now uses 8 hole sandpaper like most of it's counterparts - which is a nice upgrade since the dust collection system seems to work better this way. Overall, the 343K is the next generation of random orbit sanders from Porter Cable, and is a better product than its predecessor.

Pros:
Comfortable grip
Good power
Reasonably priced
Dust Collection options
Carrying Case

Cons:
Dust Canister can fall off
Extra power may be uncomfortable for some, even with enhanced grip
