Orbital sander

[Dan Adamson]

Hi guys,

Thanks for all the input and advice/ suggestions.

Iv pulled the plug on one of these, https://www.rutlands.com/products/brushless-random-orbital-sander

Purely because of these few features jumped out for me, the low centre of gravity, the paddle button, the 4m detachable cable and it comes with some of those mesh pads peoples recommend along with both 125 & 150 backing pads.

Never experienced the brand before so I will definitely feedback here how it actually works once it arrives.

Thanks all.

Wow! Really is, I suppose almost everything is made in China these days though isn’t it, often made in the same factories and just badged up for different companies. Even the automotive industry do it!

It arrived today, and first impressions are it’s decent build quality, we have a couple of Bosch GEX-35-150s at work and I can honestly say the build quality is comparable, the hose it comes with is a bit cheap and crappy though. It’s light and very ergonomic, the paddle button is very responsive and has a good feel to the variable speed rather than just an on/off button. Will most likely put it through its paces over the weekend as I’m building some more MDF wardrobe doors so plenty of sanding to get stuck into so il see what its performs like.
