We all know tool costs have skyrocketed, not a surprise. I am curious though, I just got the new Infinity Cutting Tools catalog, in it they have a Mirka finish sander. I should say I am in no way bashing Mirka, they are just a convenient example. If I wanted the complete package with the sander, case, dust extractor and hose it is $2000.00 dollars. For a random orbital sander! I can't get my head around who would pay that. The 33 foot vacuum hose, by itself, is $500 dollars, for a hose! I don't buy cheap tools, I buy quality tools, probably all are mid range and all work very well and all are pretty darn precise. Like I said, I just can't wrap my head around how they make any sales.
