How many have received their sander? Back when they over sold I received an email saying it would ship around the 23 of March. a couple of weeks ago I received an email saying it would ship between the 16 and 23 of March. Today I received an email that said it would not ship until on or around the 21 of April.Anyone else getting this?

I was told I would receive mine around Feb 9th, it was delivered Feb 14.
They promised this deal and they are following through be patient its worth it.

I got mine around Mid-February when it was originally promised.

I didn't mind waiting since my card wasn't charged and I bought it because it was such a deal. I also was able to use the $50 on a new CXS Drill set at Christmas.

One was delivered in Feb and the rest about 2 weeks back

I got mine several months back, in the first kit of shipments. But I literally ordered within minutes of getting the email.

Having received the sander...I would cancel the order and keep your $100.

I have heard similar comments from others that have gotten theirs as they weren't happy with it either. I tried to order one but I'll stick with my metabo and other sanders. 

    I kkind of think about it like this. A $100 sander from festool and $50 of that to spend on other tools so you probably end up with a harbor freight quality tool or worse.

Mark, could you elaborate a bit on your dissatisfaction... I just got my notification that delivery has been delayed (again) to mid April, and I am entertaining just canceling.

Thanks, Ed
