IN USE
Handling: a particularly neat ergonomics, with a non-slip coating on the palm and a groove on each side that helps to place fingers. The on / off switch on the front of the tool is easy to maneuver with the tip of the index finger. A good point for the LED system that tells you the level of charge during use.
Use: lightness and good grip allow you to work effortlessly. The triangular front pad sneaks almost everywhere and we have a vibrating sander quite versatile.

MOST
- The lightness and the absence of "wire to the paw" are the two strengths of this small sander.
- Well presented, in a kind of case transparent hood, this machine with slender lines should appeal to women who tinker.
- The lithium battery recharges in half an hour and has no "memory" effect.
THE LESSERS
- The machine has a suction connection port, but if the sanding is dust-free, the vacuum hose can be felt to be a nuisance when operating the sander.
- A sufficient power for the finishes but a little fair for the work of roughing.
OUR OPINION
A rather flattering presentation and ease of use that should make it a future standard for DIY women. In use, the sander is comfortable for small jobs and finishes. For larger sanding, it is better to equip a classic model sector, more powerful.
