Good product, hard to find accessories
I purchased this product to resurface my kitchen cabinetry. Works very well and strips old finishes even in hard to get at corners and offsets. Sands evenly. Changing out extensions, changing speeds, etc. is simple and convenient. Nice hard, compact case for storage. Finding anything other than what comes with the kit though, is a chore. Read the other reviews for places to obtain the sanding sheets.

Great Corner Sander
This corner detail sander is one of the best tool purchases that I have made. I used to use my hand to sand the corners, and I always felt pain in my finger tips after sanding. With the user of this corner detail sander, I don't have that problem any more. Moreover, I can sand faster and with less effort using this sander than using my hand to sand.

This tool can kick up some dusts if you don't connect it to a shop vac. I am not talking about a lot of dusts -- much much less dusts than those coming from a circular saw or an angle-grinder. Still, connecting it to a shop vac will keep the dusts in the air to the minimum. I use Bosch VAC001 15-ft friction fit hose to connect it to a shop vac, and they work fine together.

We can turn the triangle-shaped sanding pad around. Then we can use all three corners of the triangle-shaped sand paper. This is a necessary feature because most of the wears are at the corner of the sand paper.

Please note that although this sander is relatively low profile, its handle is long. This means you may not be able to use it in very tight space (as in a small shoe rack). In that case, you may want to sand the surface before you assemble the pieces together; then you don't have any corner to sand.

The only downside is that you probably cannot find the right kind of sand papers in your local stores if you finish using the sand papers that come with the kit. Therefore, you may want to order sand paper in advance.

The best corner detail sander on the market.
I'm a professional cabinet maker and I put a lot of hours on the Bosch sander trough out the week. It is a great sander for getting into corners and detail work. This is my second one. My first one lasted about ten years and then stopped. I immediately got a new one. The new one is more powerful , quieter and smoother running.

A Great Detail Sander
This is a sander that does exactly what it promises to do. It can remove stock at an astonishing rate and reach places that even Heineken can't. I don't know how I would have done some of the refinishing work I have done without it and I probably use it more than I should given the comment below.

The attachments that come with it are critical to its versatility and I use all of them. But, be aware that you have to take good care of them. If you destroy the surface of them so the paper will no longer adhere, replacing them is so expensive you might as well buy another saw. The saw is so good and so powerful, that would be a real waste. My attachments are, unfortunately, in pretty bad shape (I found out too late)but the sander is so great that I will just have to bite the bullet and buy another complete kit since I don't want to try to live without it.

I bought this sander to use on metal: bronze, copper, silver. I really like it. It works well and feels solidly built. I have never used the extension pads, but they look like they may be useful someday.
