Bosch is a quality brand, we have always been happy with their tools, so we tend to trust their eyes closed. This orbital sander is fine in terms of grip, it is not too big and not too noisy. Well, we may have some doubts in terms of strength and therefore durability, more needs to be used outdoors, as it will expect to make a lot of dust (indeed, it will never come to The idea to sand our boards inside!). But frankly, for handymen of Sunday as us, it will fit the bill perfectly.
