BOSCHGTR55-85 9 In. Drywall Sander Kit

I started with a Harbor Freight version that lasted a few jobs before the motor died. It worked just ok (about what you would expect for the price). I decided to upgrade to the Bosch after watching some reviews and researching.The Bosch is a much better value as the quality, performance and ergonomics are far better. If I did drywall full time I would have the Festool, but I can't justify the cost difference and the Bosch is more than capabable for general home remodeling.The balance and suction (I keep it on the middle suction setting and 4-6 vacuum power). I get zero dust in the air and the unit does "suck" to the wall greatly reducing fatigue but I don't have any issues with chatter or skipping. The soft start feature helps when starting the tool on the wall.The build quality is very nice and the storage box is great as this isn't a tool I use every day. The buttons and control dials are all very well placed and logical; you never have to think about what does what.The only minor complaints I have are that the black plastic surround leaves marks on the adjacent corners, and even without the edge guard, the corners aren't great with the sander (some of this is simple physics, not the tool's fault). Also, the clamp for the extension doesn't "snap" into place and has come undone a few times. I haven't looked to see if I can tighten it up, and it doesn't cause an issue when it does come loose.The unit does not have a halo light on the head which isn't as big a deal as I thought it might be. I keep a work light shining on the wall anyway.Unlike the review video I watched, I've had zero issues with clogging with mesh paper, even when removing large amounts of mud when skim coating walls and ceilings. I do have it connected to a DeWalt shop vac via a 20' Cen-Tec hose (the Cen-Tec hose end snaps perfectly into the Bosch snap collar BTW!).I would recommend a dust extraction tool if you do a lot of sanding. I am only doing a couple of rooms and have filled multiple shop vac bags, but since I'm tight on space, I decided against using one. It's impressive just how much dust is collected!It's a great tool, I'm sure the Festool is another level above and the D/A sanding versus the Bosch's rotary would be a game changer but for a home remodeler or advanced DIY guy the Bosch is perfect.

Phenomenal - has been indispensable as a rid an entire house of old popcorn ceilings. Makes quick work of prepping tape joints on new walls too.

Overall — everything is great. It’s lightweight, works perfectly, and even outperforms Makita and DeWalt. I’m impressed.The only downside is that the suction cup doesn’t hold as securely as I’d like — something just feels off. But despite that, the tool is impressive, and I’m confident you’ll be satisfied too.

Works great, it saves a lot of time.

Works great, love that it has a case.

Looses a star because the cable is about two feet shorter than the damn hose. As such it pulls out the cord when you get too far from the vacuum which is of course on wheels. Very irritating. Loses another star as it is nowhere as good as the fed tool which will suction to the ceiling saving your arms.

Vale cada centavo compre una aspiradora sencilla y aún así funciona de maravilla no dudo que trabajaría mejor con su propia aspiradora
