I was told about this little gem from the flooring contractors I work with. They install mostly hardwood flooring and use it to touch up the edges ect. For £30 it will outdo a £180 bosch. I now have one. Great bit of kit.
From B&Q...

I've got a dewalt dw443, it's almost 6yrs old now & still working like the day i bought it. I've also got some cheap stuff which i've had for 2yrs they were supposed to be throw away tools as they would be abused for a few weeks & i thought they'ed be dead but there still going strong, those are parkside tools from li dl the first is a 1/2 sheet sander with variable speed and a 3in belt sander variable speed, i think they've lasted this long because there german built machines. The best bit is in total they didn't cost anymore than £50 for them both.
