Having a cordless detail sander means you can do away with power cords altogether. If you need to sand at the top of a ladder or the bottom of the garden, it’s a piece of cake.
Making tough but affordable DIY tools, the Worx WX648 De-Tail sander is an ultra-lightweight detail sander. It doesn’t have the biggest motor but still has an excellent power to weight ratio. Once you’ve decided which type of sander you need, there are a few things to look out for before making your final choice. The build quality of this sander is rather good on first impression. The blue plastic casing feels solid and the rubber overmoulding creates a decent grippy surface. The vibrations are kept down to a reasonable level. Designed to fit snugly in the palm of your hand, this grey and orange sander is comfortable to hold thanks to the rubberised sections on the top and front. There’s a fingertip controlled on/off switch at the front, and you attach the sanding pads with a standard hook and loop setup.Bosch offers a comfortable contoured shape with a soft grip and an easy-to-use toggle switch. The dust box is small but you can optionally attach the PSM 100 A to a vacuum cleaner for even less dirt. The triangular pointed shape of the sanding plate means you can get into corners and the plate can be rotated to extend its lifespan. Unlike many detail sanders, there’s a second section to the sanding plate for when more surface area is needed. The entire footpad can be replaced as well. The foam upper is attached with the same hook and loop system as the pads, so you can keep this little sander in service for a long time. Bosch throw in three quality pads- 80, 120 and 160 grit sanding sheets to get you started.
The detachable SDS front plate makes this an incredibly versatile bit of kit for all your sanding tasks. If you invest in the different sanding sheets and attachments there’s nothing you can’t get. On the downside, the cable isn’t very long and if you want to save yourself some bother make sure to buy pre-pierced sanding sheets as the provided punch plate isn’t great. You don’t have to worry about getting tied down by power cables. A light and portable tool like this sander is vastly improved by being cordless.The rubber soft-grip top fits the hand well. The on/off switch is in just the right spot to be operated with one finger and it’s pretty quiet during operation. It’s good that the vibrations have been kept to a minimum as well. If there is power available then a corded sander makes life simpler in many ways as you don’t need to worry about charging batteries or replacing them when they are old. You just need to deal with a cable potentially getting in the way. How much do I need to spend?
