Einhell TE-OS 18/1 Li 18-Volt 6-Inch Power X-Change Cordless Corner Palm Sander, Tool Only

best

This is a very basic palm sander that uses a weird size sandpaper. I can't find any where the holes line up perfectly and that's how the dust is collected into the dust cup or vacuum attachment.One big problem I have with this tool is that I do want to use the dust cup but I only have a 3aH battery. You need 2.6 Ah or less size battery for it to fit in the small space provided. So I'm using it with the vacuum attachment for now and it's been fine. The main issue is finding sandpaper that works with this sander. I wish there was some standard but there doesn't seem to be. I found the right size but most of the holes aren't lining up.Functionally, this tool works well and it's nice to have a battery powered sander that lasts a long time and doesn't require an AC cord or air hose. Quality is fine, good enough for the price. I do like the 2 different dust solutions. The smallest 1.5 or 2 Ah batteries cost about as much as the tool itself but they also work on all the other Einhell tools so it's not a bad investment to have a spare battery anyway. Above average tool, I just need to find the right sandpaper and I'll be set.

I have a 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 battery and this tool has been a power hog. I'm not sure if its the tool or I was sent bad batteries, but i get roughly 9 minutes of use with 1.5Ah battery, around 13 min with the 2.0 and about 20 min with the 3.0. Called customer support to see what the issue is about 5 time and was put on hold for 20 min each time with no answer, sent them an email and no answer either.
