BLACK+DECKER KA280LKA-QS

I started working with the BLACK+DECKER KA280LKA-QS sander to sand the fence at the mobile home at the holiday address. Although I am a fairly inexperienced handyman, this worked out very well and this shows that the sander is very user-friendly. My boyfriend also wanted to test the machine, so he took care of the wooden coffee table.

Nice rotary knob to adjust the speed As mentioned, I'm a novice handyman and that's why the handy rotary knob with pictures was perfect. As a result, you do not have to figure out yourself at which speed you can work best, but you simply choose the position that suits your job.

A sturdy and well-stocked suitcase with accessories Although it may seem like a chore in advance, unpacking the KA280LKA-QS immediately made me want to get started. The sander comes in a sturdy case full of accessories such as attachments, different shapes and types of sandpaper and a handy manual. This allowed me to experiment a bit with what worked and what would be the best way to sand off that layer of paint. Afterwards, you also put everything back in the suitcase, so that you are not left with all kinds of loose parts that you have to keep together somewhere.

A little heavy for vertical sanding Because the sander is quite heavy, I felt it in my arms after a while. Especially when sanding vertically, you naturally carry the entire weight, so I had to take a break every now and then. Horizontal sanding of the coffee table was a lot more comfortable to do and last longer.

Sandpaper is easy to replace Although you can quickly run out of sandpaper, replacing them was very simple. You pull a used paper from the sanding sole and stick a new one on it. That's all. You also notice it immediately when a new sanding sheet is on: you take more of the old lacquer layer with you much faster.

Attachment for detail work difficult to assemble I honestly thought you wouldn't need any extra tools to use other attachments. But for the detail sanding point I had to loosen a screw. Not a disaster of course, but this held things up a bit.

This machine seems to have been developed by someone who wanted the ultimate sander. Thanks to the versatile attachments and the included sanding papers, you can get a whole job done right away. As far as I'm concerned, this is the ideal machine for a hobbyist, who sometimes has to sand a large surface, sometimes a contour, sometimes a hard-to-reach place...
