Buy astro pneumatic or Igersoll Rand, buy right and once. If your main objective is stripping paint, get a variable speed polisher and get the attachment for the 7" disc and use 36 grit sandpaper. I use the cordless Milwaukie one and then you can use it for buffing after your done. I wouldn't use an air tool to strip paint, there is better options available.

Yes ^^^
The only thing about this is that it's not a "one tool to do it all" situation.
The palm style sanders are fine, the ergonomics are much better than other sanders, but I wouldn't use one to strip paint.
I wound use an electric buffer/polisher type unit to strip. This can be a more budget friendly tool.
Then get into a better name brand D/A or palm sander (CP, IR, etc) for the rest of the job. They are better balanced and more powerful while using less air.
