Sadly my Black and Decker 'Sandstorm' has been disappointing and I wish that I had purchased a more traditional sander. There are various attachments that enable you to sand intricate areas and the weight at 1.26 kilos ensures that it's easy to handle. Noise level is acceptable and the vibrations are to be expected. Don't expect the dust cassette to keep your working environment clean as it wont and even the poorly written instruction manual suggests that you wear a face mask. However where this machine seriously falls down is in the way an Allen screw is used to secure the various attachments to the base of the machine. After a short while the vibrations cause the screw to loosen resulting in a frustrating removal of the sanding sheet and the reattachment the sanding base. In my opinion this is a design fault and needs to be corrected and I would not recommend this product until it has been rectified. Two small packs , each containing five sheets of various grade sandpaper came to over £20 at B and Q though the machine does come with a starter pack. Anyone considering this product should first read the review on the Power Devil sander which I whish I had purchased.
