Einhell Cordless Detail Sander 18V Power X-Change. Hand-Held Sander, Electric Sander for Wood, Plaster and Metal, with Dust Collection, Without Battery TE-OS 18/150 Li Solo

What’s not to love? This is another example of Einhell professional quality at DIY prices. This little sander is impressively powerful and straight out of the box, with a freshly charged interchangeable 2Ah battery, it worked a treat, sanding more efficiently than my Bosch corded version! The dust box isn’t all that good, but I don’t use it as I have my dust extraction going through a hepa filtered wet and dry vacuum. In lots of cases the cordless tools lose out on versatility as in they’re a bit bigger and less simple to get into tighter corners. Not this one, it gets into the less accessible areas nicely. What I like about Einhell products is that spares, like the sanding pad mount are easily available as are other spares like bearings which will wear out after extended use. As a matter of personal and professional choice, I always thoroughly cleaned my tools after use and a quick blast with the air gun on my compressor illustrates that even the effective dust collection system on this sander allows a certain amount into the motor bay. Keep them clean and dry and these examples of German excellence will serve you well.

This is a worthy replacement for my old, corded detail sander. I am really impressed with it. My old detail sander was corded, and I have retired it now because now I've used this battery one, I realise how annoying the cable was. I'll be honest, aside from cordless drills, I haven't really used battery tools much. Fitting a kitchen recently opened my eyes to how far battery technology has come in the last few years. For most small jobs there is just no need to use a corded tool. Battery tools are far more convenient, and in some cases safer, as there is no cable to get tangled in, trip over or cut through. I gave this a pretty major test on Sunday. The kitchen I installed has solid oak counter tops, and there was quite a lot left over. Mrs. Z has given me permission to use it on the benches in my workshop, instead of the old MDF. I had to join a couple of pieces to get a long enough run, and naturally there was a slight step where the two pieces met. I hand-planed most of it level (I'm old-school like that, plus I have a lovely, 100+ year-old No.7 Try plane that's perfect for that sort of thing), and finished the job off with the battery sander. First off, the sanding sheets / pads / papers or whatever you call them that come with it are really good. Second, the vibrating action is far more vigorous than my corded sander. It really gets to work and I was instantly impressed. To answer a question I see being asked: Yes, you CAN fit bigger batteries than the 2AH. The sander has a small dust collection box fitted to the back, under the battery slot. With that in place you can only fit a 2AH battery. The dust box slides off, and inside there is a tube where you can fit a vacuum cleaner or dust extractor hose - or just leave it open and blast dust everywhere. I have fitted a 4AH battery with no trouble at all. I suggest that if you are doing enough sanding to need a full 4AH battery, you also need to use a vacuum dust extractor! It's a bit heavy with the big battery. To be perfectly honest, while it will take bigger batteries than 2AH, that's the size with which it's most manageable and convenient. I'm quickly learning that the expensive part of battery-powered tools is the battery. If you are buying this as your only Einhell tool, it's a bit expensive as you will need a battery and charger. If you already have those, then it's a very reasonable price. I'm really impressed with this sander. It's far better than my old one. While it might not be up to 'trade' standards, for the enthusiastic DIY and guitar workshop use it will get, it's perfect.

Not used this properly. Yesterday used it on a small area to be sanded. It seems powerful, compact, good design and sturdyu. Its what I was expected to help sanding down with some DIY projects i have planned in the comig months. Well pleased!

I have a couple of Makita tools but after investing in some Einhell cordless tools, I have embraced the range. It is so much easier sticking with one battery system for different tools and the quality of all their items has been great. Another person mentioned that this was very noisy but mine isn’t. Yes it’s a sander so has an inherent sound but I have heard much worse!! It works well, isn’t too heavy and the dust extraction is as useless as all these tools unless it is attached to a shop vac. The Velcro sanding pads seem to be a generic size and easy to change.

Good grip with low noise and vibration

Fantastic sander

Its a great sander, we have lots of Einhell products, BUT, the pictures are wrong and misleading. The 4 Ah battery doesn't fit. Amazon advertised and sold this item as a set, paired with a 4 Ah battery and charger. I gave it to Grandad as a gift and it didn't take him long to spot the battery wouldn't fit unless you don't use the dust collector. Whoops. Fortunately, I have a spare 2.5 Ah battery from Einhell, slimmer, so we can just swap, hence no return, but it did spoil the present rather. Amazon and Einhell please update the listing and pictures.

Yes I do like this jigsaw I like the feel of it when I am cutting wood The dust collection attachment is excellent too

Sehr gute Qualität, liegt gut in der Hand, für Privat zu empfehlen

El producto llegó en la fecha prevista, en su caja bien embalada. Escogí esa marca porque ya tengo otros artículos de la misma y me gusta. Se ve de buena calidad. En la caja viene la lijadora, seis hojas de lija de diferente grosor, la caja colectora de polvo y un adaptador para poder acoplar un aspirador, además del libro de instrucciones y la garantía. Las hojas de lija se adhieren perfectamente. El diseño de la lijadora permite un buen agarre. No trae batería, hay que adquirirla aparte. Pero sobre eso un apunte, la caja colectora de polvo no permite poner una batería grande. O batería pequeña y caja colectora o batería grande y sin caja, esparciéndose el polvo por todos lados. Ya la hemos utilizado y funciona muy muy bien con los resultados esperados. Estamos muy satisfechos con la compra.

Einhell accu, altijd goed!

Très bon produit, vraiment de qualité. Robuste comme toute la gamme Einhell que j'ai

Muito bom
