Bosch PSM 18 LI Cordless 18 Volt Li-Ion Multisander (baretool: supplied without battery/without charger)

I was going to buy a cheap, corded sander until I saw this Bosch, which takes the batteries from my Bosch drill, so saving money on further batteries and charger. It works really well, and I've had an hour of use from one charge, after which it's probably worth taking a break to avoid white-finger, although the vibrations are not too bad at all. I've used it a fair bit, and I like that fact that I can still 'feel' the wood as I'm working: Another reviewer wished it would remove wood faster, but I'm very happy with a more gradual approach, giving more control and subtlety to the work.I've also not had any issues with the pads not sticking to the velcro, as experienced by some others. One wonders whether they have perhaps been overenthusiastic, and sanded down through the pad to the velcro maybe? The pads are not cheap, and I may try non-branded ones down the line, assuming I can find some to fit. But that said, I have found them lasting longer than I expected: I sanded the finish from a three-drawer bedside cabinet ready for painting, and only used a single pad, which still had some life in it. The dust-collector also works well, although I've worked outside enjoying the nice weather so far. But I would be happy to use it indoors knowing that the room wold not be covered in sawdust after working. Just remember to knock out the collector from time to time. I have no reservations in recommending this device, it is a fine sander, not overly loud, no cable to get in the way, and allows subtle sanding, even into corners and along curved edges without being over-zealous!

Be aware this is a bare tool - it does not come with the batteries! (although 2 batteries, a charger and a hammer drill with case is available from the orange DIY chain for just under a hundred pounds at 19.09.12) This is a great little sander with an extending forward section to get into small areas most sanders won't. Only had this sander a few weeks but first impressions are positive with both the sander and the sanding packs I bought at the same time really helping sand some teak chairs with tightly packed wooden "spokes" being done in minutes where I could not get my old sander nor easily get a block of wood with sandpaper wrapped around it. The batteries have been lasting about an hour (they are about 6 months old and have been used many times on a Power4all jigsaw and hammer drill) and the power is at least as good as my old Black and Decker mains sander. Positives Reasonable light Really like the fact you can get into tight spaces Has extractor Versatile in handling and being able to take away from mains due to being battery operated. Negatives Only that it works out expensive if you don't already have the batteries. If you have the batteries and need a sander - this is an excellent product.

This little sander just fits in the palm of my hand and although it is easy enough to hold the strength of the vibrations it sends down your arm while it is in use takes some getting used to. The sanding pads come in several grades from very rough to smooth and are easily changed just by ripping the old one off and slapping a new one on. The sander comes as a bare bones unit with no battery or charger but as I have six or seven items in the range this makes it good value for me - there’s no point having seven chargers all the same. The unit collects its own dust although I rarely use this feature as I prefer to make a mess as I work.

Well designed and made (I have several Bosch tools) and I now won't buy cheap(er) products. The sanding sheets are easy to fit and remove and grip the plate really well. It's relatively heavy for its size, but that means you can just use its own weight. No need to press down for sanding. A bonus is the one-for-all battery and charger system. For d-i-y use you are unlikely to want to use more than one tool at a time and it recharges quickly (about 1 hour?)

Good product at a good price. Already had suitable battery from a previous Bosch purchase. Easy to attach, disconnect and recharge.

Already had 2 batteries with a drill. Best thing is the absence of a power lead and being independent of power sockets, and extension leads. Have used it a few times and does what is expected of it, battery looks to last quite well. Dust extractor quite good and works well on doors and other large surfaces, collector needs emptying often for best results.

I bought this sander a couple of months ago, but the job I wanted to do was delayed so I`ve only just had the chance to test it in service. I was surprised how securely the pads remain fixed to the sander. It wasn`t unduly noisy and was quite effective. It doesn`t feel that secure in my hand and feels a bit bulky and a touch unwieldy when in use. But that`s probably me not being very familiar with it yet, plus there`s a quite bulky motor to cover somehow! And that motor and the pads are buzzing about at a fair old rate. As others have mentioned, it`s quite hard to get the filter box off. However, to my mind, that`s better than it being too loose and getting knocked off every now and then, usually at the most inopportune moment. I did manage to connect it to the vacuum cleaner (sort of) and was pleased with the way flying dust was reduced. It`ll be even better when I buy the proper adaptor! It is quite manouverable but I was a bit disappointed with the odd place I couldn`t get at, for example a skirting board with a central heating pipe running along just above it.But that`s not the Sander`s fault, I simply thought that it would be less bulky than it is! But, like I said, it`s got (and needs ) quite a hefty motor to do what it does. On an open flat or curved surface, no problem. Saves a lot of time, effort and temper! All in all very satisfied and happy to recommend it. I just need to learn to drive it properly!

Jag tänkte först köpa en annan billig slip med sladd när jag såg denna. Då jag redan har laddare och batteri för Bosch valde jag denna. Jag har använt den en gång och den är väldigt enkel att använda. Ett stor plus är den inbyggda dammsugen, nästan all sågspån hamnar i den inbyggda behållaren som är enkel att tömma. Den slipar också väldigt bra och jag har nu beställt fler sandpapper av varierande grovhet. Visst bullrar den en del men inte värre än andra maskiner. Även om man inte har ett batteri sedan tidigare är det värt att köpa varianten där laddare och batteri ingår.

記載がなく、古い本体で使っていたバッテリーが使えるか不安でしたがしっかりハマりました。 動作も問題なさそうです。 新しいバッテリーは少しスリムになっており、本体に隙間ができます。 充電器も供用できるようでした。 この形状が作業に向いているので今回で4台目です。 コンパクトでアイロン状の形状が細かい作業にも向いていてお気に入りです。 高儀製やアイリス製もあるようですが安心感もありこの商品に決めました。

Worked well for minor sanding I had to do. For bigger works consider something more powerful

ürünü çift aküm olduğu için aküsüz aldım. performansı yeterli. ağır iş için kullanıma uygun değil. sonuçta yeşil seri bir makine. aldığım zımparalar da uyumlu. tavsiye ederim.

Io lo sto usando addirittura per scartavetrare pareti con pittura speciale e sinceramente non è male, non è come una giraffa ma lavora discretamente
