what would you use this machine for?
Of the jobs i do - railings - to get under radiators/into corners when sanding floor - mabye for certain areas on sash and slide windows.........
Where else would this tool be usefull.???????????
Reason for asking is i had a floor sanding job where the rads were about 30mm off the floor and nothing i had would get under them, I'm looking at getting a cheapy version of this tool (£35 on ebay) as i will hardly ever use it, but would be handy.........mabye

I knew someone that had the Black and decker version (powerfile) and it was complete rubbish. Belts used to break every few minutes and it was always being taken back for repair, but they could never find what was causing the belts to break

I use an air version from time to time. Usually for polishing or fettling in very awkward places.

The decent belts show you which direction they run aswell, they can peel at the join if on the wrong way.
