Huge, massive, order-of-magnitude improvement.


worth
getting but only when the present flatbed orbital expires

If you do *any* sanding, buy one now.


made of money, I was looking at the Bosch PEX 220 KIT for £39.99. Is
this a
decent make, or has anyone any other suggestions?

I have the PEX 400, which was ~£50. It's very good value. I wouldn't
really want much less power (the 220 is about half the power). Go for
the 400. Great tool.

Seconded on the 400, hoping Santa is bringing me a new on as the old
one overheated and died. :-( (over use by me not it's fault.) ;-)
