WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

Its cost is accounted for by the 400 W professional platform, decoupled unit, dedicated vibration damping and multi-hole extraction pad. Those are functional design elements directly tied to contact consistency, fatigue and dust—not prestige.

MATERIALS

Sanding unitDecoupled housing assembly

Maintains contact pressure and isolates vibration.

PadMulti-hole hook-and-loop pad

Accepts multiple hole patterns and improves extraction.

GripRubberised grip surfaces

Improves control during long flat-panel work.

NOT FOR

·Overhead work
·Very small detail work

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

A purposeful, robust 150 mm machine rather than a petite palm sander. The isolated unit is valuable on wide flat work; 2.4 kg makes it less pleasant overhead.

LONGEVITY

The pad is a replaceable wear item and the multi-hole design reduces dependence on one abrasive pattern. Its corded architecture avoids battery ageing; buy genuine pads and keep extraction clear.
