Sander Deals & Offers

Bosch are my preferred tools these days

If this'd appeared a week ago, I would've bought it immediately! As-is, I made do with a sheet sander. Guess I unwittingly saved £30

Here you go: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000NDGQHU/

The inverted bit sold it for me. Any link to the clamp you could share?

This is a very good sander - and an outstanding t price. Not sure if I've ever shredded a belt - and I have spent dozens of hours sanding old scaffold boards (full of grit and nails) using this particular model. Worth spending a bit more on good belts as they last longer. That said, the cheap Silverline belts aren't bad. Heated Edit: can run inverted which is *very* handy e.g. sharpening chisels. If you do this, wear gloves. And, preferably, clamp the sander; there's a proprietary available.

All it would take is a couple of hours wear and a nail/screw head or a hardened knot to put a tear in the paper.

I had one of these and the belt shredded after 2 hours. I'm not saying it was the machine's fault, but I didn't do anything out of the ordinary or mess around with it. So be careful until you know what you're doing!

Ah the good old Bosch sander glitch, those were the days!

I prefer the b&d mouse sander and it's cheaper

Pretty good price but had been £20 a few times in the last few months if you're not in a rush for it might drop again.

Big fan of random orbit sanders. Use them for work. Always found the 125mm a bit small. But good price. Always found the base pads wear out. May be spending a fiver on one of these. Much cheaper than replacing the base platehttps://www.restexpress.co.uk/acatalog/Mirka_Pad_Protector.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw0oveBRAmEiwAzf6_rCv6Kc-ZdEsDfitH59krqiFVQLCFOtgJMI_GVKYxWZWxjgknzABf-xoCIgYQAvD_BwE

Bought this and it broke within a couple weeks with the discs now flying off

The two things that put me off this sander is only one speed and I don’t find a palm sander that comfortable to use. Good price though for Bosch but sorry not for me...

I know this won't do the job, but which sander should I go for to sand my engineered wood flooring?

looking at the other new prices I would imagine the rrp for that is inflated

Does the job, good to have

The Black & Decker one is horrible to use as it vibrates too much. I know that sounds silly, but my hands feel horrible after using one for more than a few minutes. One might hope that the Bosch has a nicer action, though I haven't used one myself.

This not better deal? https://www.amazon.co.uk/BLACK-DECKER-KA161BC-Detail-Accessories/dp/B001G7PR3Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1538993324&sr=8-8&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=Bosch+PSM+100&dpPl=1&dpID=51tCDYnqS-L&ref=plSrch

Currently restoring an old kitchen, used this tool solidly for two days on the walls and ceiling - I've got to say I'm really impressed with it, leaves a nice finish and is easy to use. The old spare Henry I had on dust extraction duties didn't fare so well, it released the magic smoke on the second day.

Yes it seems that Aldi are a little slow on updating their own website with the locations of their own stores ! It maybe this is an opening offer which isn't going to be available in others in the UK.

These velcro ones are a pita.

That'll be the display one!

If the Wickes stock checker says 1 in stock just assume its actually 0. Wickes always seem to have 1 less item in stock than the checker states.

Halfway their already then (lol) been 40mins since this post lol

I think that new 20v batteries from workzone will fit without other brands without any change.

I'm quite sure that there will be no indicator. 1.5 Amp batteries are mostly without indicator. I have same sds hammer drill as you, for 28 with one battery. 18v workzone battery suits my Worx tools, but impact driver is not working on that battery, propably low power. Hammer drill working fine. To use Worx 20v batteries on Workzone hammer drill you have to cut small pin on battery mount or on battery, easy job, working fine.

You could just buy a cheap multimeter. If it's 21v it's totally full (5*4.2v) if it's totally empty it will be 14v (5*2.8v). So 25% will be about 16v, 50% about 18v and 75% about 19.5v. Ideally you want to keep it in the 15v-20v range so don't store it empty or full.

is that for all of them listed? any experience yourself? I have the sds that went on sale for £28 its amazing for the price but no battery life indicator is killing me never know whether to charge it or leave it in my bag...considering another tool that comes with a battery if its for a good price and has an indicator.

Batteries are same but sometime you have to cut small plastic pin to mix them.

Just returned it after trying in vain to sand anything with it. The sheets come lose instantly and it's completely useless.

Tested today and yea... Its effective but the sheets to slip a little but the result was great for 10 quid.

Just go on toolstation app ,you can order from there, 10 plus is free delivery if not local to a store

Hi Have you got Make or product code ,looking for more info or a item number for your Toolstation sanding sheets

Reserved one... thanks

Just borrowed one of these, within 10 minutes of sanding a door frame a bright flash-bang came from inside, dramatically dying in my hand with a horrible burning smell. Here begrudgingly as I kind of have a duty to replace it. (mad)

The price has now gone up from Amazon as seller to £24.99 but is available cheaper from other sellers including a dodgy looking Chinese one for £14.99. How would this compare with the Aldi one currently in store at £19.99: https://www.aldi.co.uk/workzone-220w-multi-sander/p/078469216369400 Or the Ozito one from Homebase for £10: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ozito-180w-detail-sander-with-20-sanding-sheets-10-homebase-3043695 Both the above have 3 year warranty but is there anything the B&D one does that these don't?

Hi. I have one of these and yes it vibrates like crazy and is therefore uncomfortable to use but I have used it quite a lot for sanding multiple sets of alloy wheels before repainting and for stripping paint off wooden doors. Mine doesn't get warm at all even after hours of constant use. I feel like I have had more than £20 service out of mine.

Thanks, and you. All the best. (y)

One of the best little sanders money can buy. Used daily as i am a chippy.

Sincerest apologies, still in stock in local stores (Norwich and Dereham); else I wouldn't have bothered commenting if I were referring to a product that I knew was no longer in stock. (y)

I'm renovating a house where the walls haven't been touched in 40 years. Striped the wallpaper to reveal a single cost of emulsion. Problem is the emulsion flakes off in some places and sticks day in others leaving a very patchy surface. Would this sort it out?

Sanding diameter of the Aldi model is 180mm, vs 225mm on the Lidl, so quite different in that respect too (it'll take longer, and it'll be harder to ensure level of a particular area with the smaller diameter)

Good point.

I think so.

https://www.screwfix.com/p/energer-enb623sdr-sheet-sander-230-240v/3348g This is always cheaper, has slightly larger (more standard?) sanding sheets, smaller footprint, provides a slot to take a variety of vacuum hoses so you actually collect the dust - crappy bags which come with mitre saws etc DO NOT work. Also 80 and 100 grit sheets? Why bother? 120 would be the coarsest I'd finish on (for rough timber, I start with 40 or 60 or you'll be there all day at 80 and use far more sheets than you need)

Really?

I thought the rule was buy cheap then if you use it enough for it to break buy expensive? Personally I need a sander for a one-off job so this would be perfect and far cheaper than buying all the dremel attachments I'd need to do the same job with my existing tool.

Had one of these about 2 years. Used it quite a lot today as it happens. Works well! I buy 10pks of 1/2 sheet sandpaper (hook and loop) from Toolstation for £3-summit and cut then in half so I have 20. They're great for it. If you don't get the hook and loop ones it's useless as clamping the paper isn't great and it'll rip. Edit: here's the link https://www.toolstation.com/shop/Power+Tool+Accessories/d80/Power+Sanding/sd1790/Sanding+Sheet+115+x+230mm/p51252. They do different grit. You can also buy a silverlkne selection of grits as a pack from Amazon

Thanks, forgot to include that it comes with a 2 year guarantee (y)
