random-orbit sander
We've spent a fair amount of money at Home Depot recently, but so far at least (I think) to good effect. Case in point: a mid-price random-orbit sander I bought for woodworking. Some experiments showed that it wasn't necessarily all that easier than sanding wood by hand, but this week it has turned out to be the miracle tool for drywalling. Dust everywhere, of course, but that's just the cost of doing business.
