Anyone ever use a milwakee detail sander (model 6030-20)? I have a line on a new one for under $50, but have never used one. Is this a good deal, or should I just bite the bullet and buy the fein?

read about them in the worst tool thread...
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!

The fein multimaster is a great tool for the finish carpenter/flooring installer. As a sander it is pretty aggressive and easily gets into hard to access spaces. You have to be sharp not to leave swirl marks. Sands flat, doesn't round over an edge like an orbital. The saw attachments tho expensive are the real ticket. Easily and accurately cut out trim when needed with the E-blades. The grout removal (diamond) blade throws no dust when trying to remove a tile. Can't say enough about it, no comparison to any of the other detail sanders. If you're not a professional, you'd better have money and a bad tool habit.Remodeling Contractor just outside the Glass City.

I have the Fein and it's great but I'm intrigued by the Milwaukee. Had a Bosch, most unfortunate.
