I wonder how many of these belt sanders they have sold? I can just imagine the product development brainstorming session where a team of people came up with this idea and proceeded to design the features. However I bet if this was left unsupervised on a job site it would be there in the morning…

"It is now time to to say hello to the Hello Kitty Power Sander. This cat, cute for some and an eyesore for many, in it’s latest form now wants to be a part of the tough construction business. We really can’t imagine which construction contractor would even think of buying this outrageous piece of building kit. And after buying, we think he will have a tough time to goad his workers into using one of these. The Kitty cat sits smugly near the operation levers of the power sander, making it very visible to anybody who might work on the sander. As we guessed, the Chinese signage on the sander tells us this is one of those outrageous contraptions arriving from China."
