Bosch multi sander PSM 100 A (100W, in case)

My previous hand sander expired in a whiff of smoke (orange coloured brand, despite their name) in the middle of a project. Normally, I would have a mini tantrum and then go out and panic buy but I decided to be sensible (for a change). I did a bit of research and settled on this.I do like Bosch as a brand and have some of their other tools and a couple of white goods. It was the 3 year warranty and the smaller size that made me choose this particular model. I'm a small woman with small hands and some of the larger sanders are just a bit too bulky, especially if you are doing detailed work. This is light to manoeuvre and doesn't vibrate nearly as much as my last model. Your hands do still feel 'buzzy' if using for a while but it doesn't last long!This feels a quality build and comes neatly packed in a plastic storage case. My only niggle is that the storage case clips require a bit of oomph to secure but at least it's a satisfying click when they do close.

Great little calm sander

Small and fairly powerful. Comes with a few sandpaper pads but I bought a large unbranded pack off Amazon that fit and work well. It works well for smaller jobs and the edge of the sander can fit into more fiddly places such as door frame grooves etc. It sanded my table down well but struggles on thicker paint.The dust catcher is fairly useless, it does catch some dust but you still get huge amounts of dust flying through the air so a mask is advised.

About 10 years ago I tried to sand my oak kitchen worktops. I used a small hand sander similar to this one. The results were not good. Fast forward and this machine is amazing. I am in my sixties and the ease with which this sands is so good. Just rest it on the wood and let it do its thing. The vibrations are also must reduced from the previous sander and the dust bag very useful. It doesn’t trap it all but cuts down the mess considerably. Highly recommended.

Good quality excellent price and service

I bought this to sand down panelling I have just recently had done.So glad I hd this! Had saved so much time and done an effective job.The design and weight is easy to hold and move around making it an efficient job.The amount of sanding I had managed to complete in half an hour would have probably taken me hours to do manually. It did make a big mess so be prepared, and wear a mask to cover from the dust!

Love this little helper. It made the job so fast and easy. Important is to buy extra paper as only 3 are included and they don't last very long.

Great little sander for the smaller jobs. Works well, sanding sheets easy to attach and remove. Drops a star because of the dust collection box, which need s to be pulled from machine as there is no easy release button, and needs to be firmly pushed back on place. Always makes me think this will ultimately fail first
