Stanley Fatmax FMEW204K-QS

I sanded the concrete floor with it. That went very quickly. I probably used too coarse sandpaper because there were some sanding marks left. After 2 coats of varnish these became less visible.

easy to use and handy for smaller DIY jobs makes it good value for money if you dont use it much. The dust channel from the motor to the dust bag gets clogged very easily. The dust bag basically breaks very easily as it is made from stitched cloth just slipped over the handgrip - so it basically ripped on the first attempt to remove and empty the dustbag.

I'm very happy with this sander. What I appreciate most is the open front roller, which allows me to sand concave edges and surfaces—not just flat areas. With my previous Makita, I had to modify this myself by simply cutting away the front part of the plastic housing with an angle grinder. Funnily enough, the designers at Stanley did the exact same thing here—it's like they saw my idea somewhere! :-)
