Who's got one? Who wants one?!
i dont but sure need one
Fabulous sander, love mine.
Nice review , I'm on the Bosch platform , definitely will be adding this to my tools
Nice one Brian. Can't go wrong
Fantastic video mate! Im an apprentice in landscape construction and I to use the Bosch tool lineup , which I'm forever adding too. Huge fan so far of the Bosch tools so far.
Having studied and worked as a photographer/videography in a previous career id like to give you a huge shoutout for the quality and time you put into these videos as I know how much time to takes to film and edit. Sick channel mate! All the best Ben from Brissie
Ayy Ben! Seems like we're into all the same stuff mate 😂
Cheers man, yep, it takes longer than I'd like to admit. Thanks legend. Stay in touch 🤙
@@viking.designs Yea mate, Love a bit of camera and tool tech. Went out and bought the sander yesterday so I'll see how she goes. Stay well and look forward to more vids.
I got one from Lowes here in the states with s 4.0 ah battery and charger. I love it! The feel just kills my Makita and Rigid cordless sanders.
The intro, lol had to hit the like button. Few minutes later... Im watching the rest of vid
Cheers Sergio!@
Voy a iniciar en el sistema bosch solo por esta lijadora. :)
Have a couple of Bosch sanders and pleased with them. Bosch seems to make some really nice tools and others that should be left on the shelf. They need consistency.
They are releasing a lot of new stuff this year. Let’s hope they get them right.
great video. thank you for sharing. it good for polishing as well or just for sanding?
Thanks for watching! I've used it for burnishing microcement and it was great.
Stripping of paint from hardwood I have only recommendation: Metabo LF850 it will save you so much time
greetings from Prague and thanks for honest review
I'm thinking of the 12v smaller one.
More then likely going grad it. But no rush
I'm yet to try out the 12v but from what I've heard, it's great.
Want to buy one and use for drywall sanding, is it any good for that you think? Don’t want to invest in a planer or anything like that, but looking into this one that I can you on wood etc as well.
I think this is spot on for sanding plaster. Right amount of power and good dust extraction 👍👍👍
I got the 12v and it's awesome
Love the 12v form factor 👍
I've got the 12v and it's 👍👍🤘
Yeah I've heard great things about it. I'm yet to try any of the 12v range
Had the same idea to go cordless 18v Bosch sander with vac to use on plaster.
First job I used it I got zapped through the hand prob because not earthed.
Did you have similar issue?
Now that you mention it, one day I did, yes. However it was with the track saw, not the sander. It was only that one day though. Hasn't been an issue lately
That's from debris being removed in large volume and traveling through the dust collection, it builds static electricity
Me in Bunnings 30 minutes ago looking at this: “man, I’ve got to stop buying tools. I’ll check out a review to convince me.”
Haha this is me every other day 😅
"I've gotta stop buying tools"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best of luck with that Dan 👍
Great video as always dude, everything is going up in price from a worldwide shortage of semi conductors and it doesn't seem to be resolving itself. I say grab kit when you can as it's rare as rocking horse sh!t.
Haha yes, one day i'll stop 😅
What is that chrome pop up (bollard?) used for, next to the deck you are sanding?
I had to go and re watch the vid. It's a chrome spigot, it holds up flameless glass balustrades that are super common for pool areas here in Aus.
@@viking.designs Ah cool- thank you for the reply 👍🏻
Just bought this after watching your video. Stupid question. Mine doesn’t seem to rotate around all that fast. Should the rotation of the disk add to the abrasive function or is it just there to introduce the randomness of the pattern?
I think it's a bit of both to be honest. They definitely are down on speed from my 240v sanders, however for the right task they are great imo.
@@viking.designs Thanks for the reply, I’m just not sure if mine is working correctly. Sometimes it doesn’t rotate at all and this is under no load.
That does sound a little strange. Can you take it back to where you bought it and compare it to another unit??
Is it good at removing finishes on wood? Did not hear you mention it, thanks
Hey Nick. Depends on what type of finish and wood, however, I don't think this is the right tool if you're doing a large amount of it.
You'd be better off with a belt sander or even a grinder with a sanding pad attached. I don't think this is the right tool for that application.
@@viking.designs thanks for the rapid feedback
I don’t have any Bosch and don’t want any except this. I’ll buy it if I can find an adapter for Makita or Milwaukee batteries. I’m hearing nothing but good about it.
Quality little unit.
Freakin amazing with the vac!
I did get this with a Makita adapter. Works great!
Makita user myself. Bought this because of the reviews. This is the best cordless sander I have ever used.
This power tool sander is good for abrading back previously painted surfaces as well ! 😨
I'm not sure if this is a question or a statement 🤔
Exactly what I use mine for paint,varnish with a 240, 320, even 400 grit mesh disc, very efficient dust removal..
@@viking.designs NO! it’s a comment not a question OK
Nice chanel
Thanks mate! 🤙
I bought two, $129 each at Lowes, free battery and charger with purchase.
Free battery and charger! Wow, what a deal. I got nothing haha
@@viking.designs I believe you get the battery and charger free until the end of March. So far I am really happy with the purchase.
That's awesome man! Yeah it's a great little sander 👍
I just got one for $79 USD with a free battery and charger.
What!? That is crazy 😆 Nice score!
Great video, but background music was really anoying!
Hey Daz. Thanks mate, I'll keep that in mind for my next edit. 👍
Ummm, if you don't use sanding discs with holes, you are getting zero dust extraction.
The sandnet discs have essentially hundreds of little holes in them. They have really good dust extraction for this reason
Horrible review
I did say it was more of a first look than an actual review. Thanks for watching
@@viking.designs For what is was i think you did a great first look :)
