FirstLook

I always enjoy seeing John Rauscher show up at AMPS to see what new items he has from this company (being Chinese it may soon get much more expensive though). He did have a set of mini-rotary sander/grinders but sold out of them but still had this one on hand.

While $60 is not cheap it does come with eight different shape heads in the same box and also a short USB charging cable with the now common connector fitting used by most rechargeable items. No transformer is provided. It also comes with two sets of 180 grain sandpaper sheets with vinyl backing and cut to shape to fit each different head.

Charging is quick (20 minutes to full) and a lighted LED strip shows the charge as well as what speed you are in. The box claims some 10 different light combinations which can be preset by pressing the control button. Once in use the tool has three different speeds, each reached by a firm press on the control button.

This looks to be a nice way to solve some repetitive sanding operations for armor modelers such as road wheels and track links and I for one cannot wait to build something using it!
