Lots of shocks from steel rivets.
The concept is excellent. The performance is too. Many reviews mentioned getting shocks from it, which I can attest to, which is the reason I returned it. These shock points come from rivets, which are unfortunately placed on either side of the handles. These handles are just a hard plastic. So overall it does exactly what its supposed to do and for a vacuum sander its a cheaper deal than others. Hyde should modify the mounting rivets, and prevent this shocking hazard. After using it for 15 minutes, I packed it up and went back to regular pole sander.,
