Bosch GEX18V-5N Review

One of the standout features of the Bosch GEX18V-5N is its powerful 18V brushless motor, which delivers similar stock removal to a corded sander. But don't be fooled-- this sander is much more compact and ergonomic than a traditional corded sander, making it a breeze to use in hard-to-reach areas. The well-balanced ergonomic palm grip allows your hand to be closest to the work material to avoid tilting and pressing down, for best results. The easy-to-reach on/off switch offers intuitive operation, while the vibration dampening element helps minimize user fatigue. The speed selector delivers best results in different materials and applications. The Bosch GEX18V-5 Brushless 5 In. Random Orbit Sander has a 5-inch 8-hole sanding pad, which provides optimal dust collection when the sander is attached to a vacuum or a dust bag. The dust pad is ideal for both flat and concave/convex surfaces. The included dust bag allows mobile dust collection, while the tool has an interface for vacuum hose attachment. The sander also has soft-start technology, constant speed, and a hook-and-loop backing pad.
