These are great machines. The design has been around a long time. I have an old Rockwell that is close to identical. (I wouldn't be surprised if some parts were interchangeable). I bought this particular one because it was made in USA. The new ones are made in Mexico. They're still the same design and work good. (My dad has one that works great). I like the design because the heavy weight of it helps dig in and remove material fast without the extra effort on my end having to lean on it. It also has a strong motor that doesn't bog down or burn out like so many others will. The variable speed is very useful. It uses a standard size paper that is readily obtainable and easy to change. Overall it's a good solid machine. When you pick it up and hold it that fact becomes obvious. I don't think there are very many changes in design or materials on these. Maybe the trigger switch has changed, I know some of the switches have been bad. I don't know if it's the old ones or the newer ones. I suspect the newer ones, but that's just my attitude towards newer things that aren't made in USA anymore. The only thing I wish it came with is a hard case to protect it and store extra paper.Read full review
