This sander is unreal! I never thought a sander under $200 could be this nice, and smooth.
Having 1 arm, as a woodworker, a sander could really do me wrong. I had been using pnuematic because they're much better balanced (and a decent one can be had for $40), than an electric. And I swore there would never be a good electric sander under $200.... I was wrong.
Bosch has always made great sanders. To me, they were the go-to for sanding and were just behind Mirka and Festool in function and quality. But they were $200-250. So trying the one a buddy got at Lowe's was a game changer for me.
Bosch has really stepped it up across their line. I've said it here and elsewhere many times before, but come next year, the new tools they have coming out, will push them passed Makita. (And a few of the newer tools will turn the heads of the Festool folks.)

Sanding car parts can be brutal on an electric sander. Paint, clear, grease and oils from a car can get nasty when they get into an electric.
Pnuematic, or a really expensive electric sander designed for auto work are a better way to go. And if you get a good compressor, you can do it with a 30 gallon. (If size is an issue, you can get a really expensive10 gallon, but it'll run almost constantly, and cost more than a decent 30 gallon, or an okay 60 gallon.)

For most in a shop I don't see the point of a cordless sander. I always have dust collection hooked up anyway so I'm already tethered. I've been using this sander for about 3 years and it's great, hard to beat at this price point. I highly recommend Mirka Abranet sanding discs.
Lol, like the Bosch Freak?
