Can anyone recommend a good power sander?

I've been looking for an orbital sander lately for my armor and prop work. I'm in the market for something $50 or less. I'd like to order from Amazon, something that's eligible for Amazon Prime so I don't have to pay for shipping preferably - budget is a bit tight right now. A lot of the sanders on there are listed lower than the list price. |

I use Skilcraft sanders, but I always try to buy something refurbished if at all possible. I don't have any experience with B&D, but they seem to have a good heft to them when I see them at the store. |

I use an Porter Cable angle grinder to make sword edges very quickly, and a Black and Decker Mouse for smoothing and the small stuff. I've owned the Mouse for a year now and it hasn't failed me yet. The trick is to not put too much pressure on the little guy and just let it run on its own. |

I have a B&D Mouse, I like it fine for less-than-two-hours-at-a-time work. Beyond that the vibration sets up pain in my elbows, meaning I've never run it hard enough to melt any of it's bits. I've used it mostly on wood, but some metal. Refurbished three chairs and one girls desk with it. |
