this sander looks to just specialize sanding vertically… because the grip looks uncomfortable to sand horizontally. a way to over come the horizontal sanding issue is to just design a grip behind the motor vents… so one could use the trigger lock and the grip behind the vents to sand horizontally with not problem… while still use the pistol grip for easy horizontal sanding.
