I use these mainly for sanding/polishing in the routed channels on my charcuterie boards, as they're pretty much the only sander on the market with that form factor and small pad, and they are nothing short of sensational!

They easily save me at least an hour or two per board, and as I punch all my own sanding/polishing discs with my flypress as well as make my own backing pads in even smaller sizes, the media cost is hardly anything!

The size can be deceiving, they're a really powerful little sander and the battery's last really well.

Yeah, I was surprised the orbit is a full 5mm - that's pretty aggressive for a 35mm sander.

I wasn't happy buying into another battery platform, but the seller had these on a massive special so after ogling them for years I finally gave in. I'm so glad I did, they are just amazingly powerful and awesome little units. I also use them for spot sanding on welding projects, as well as buffing the headlights on the missus's car!

I punch out Abranet grits in 35-40mm diameter, and put them on a 25-30mm pad so the ends roll up, and this gives me perfect results sanding on the flats and more importantly in the rounded grooves. Doing this all by hand previously was so unbelievably tedious and time consuming beyond belief.

The polishing pads I punch out in various fine to super fine grits also give a glorious finish with the hardwax oils!
