Compatible with vacuum or dust bag collection, this tool balances power and portability for small to medium sanding tasks. ## Description This 12V Max random orbit sander is designed to tackle hard-to-reach work areas with power and control. It features a well-balanced ergonomic palm grip, which allows your hand to be closest to the work material to avoid tilting and pressing down, for best results. The easy-to-reach on/off switch offers intuitive operation. The Bosch GEX12V-5 Brushless 5 In. Random Orbit Sander has a powerful 12V Max brushless motor, and it is engineered for professional applications. The speed selector delivers best results in different materials and applications. The sander has a 5 In. 8-hole sanding pad, which provides optimal dust collection when the sander is attached to a vacuum or a dust bag. The dust pad is ideal for both flat and concave/convex surfaces. The included dust bag allows mobile dust collection, while the tool has an interface for vacuum hose attachment. It also has soft-start technology, constant speed and a hook-and-loop backing pad. The sander has a compact shape with close-to-the-workpiece design for control in hard-to-reach areas. Review: Oh man... - I just plowed thru most of a 2,000sq ft building that needed quite a bit of drywall patching - walls and ceiling ...with hand pads. This little rocket blasts thru that c'hit like a gas torch on plastic bags. 60grit seemed fine, and I did not use the bagger. Walls were easy both ways, pad or tool, but this sander made short work of 9 foot overheads. I got Bosch years ago so it was easy to stick to the brand. 12v may not be the most 'industrial or longest lasting, but the compact size makes it a good choice, especially working overhead. 150% happy. Jim - Eastern Shore Md Review: Excellent for small jobs/finishing. NOT for bigger jobs. - WARNING- the batteries don’t last long, this is for very small jobs, Bosch basic 12V batteries only last 5-10 minutes full blast sanding. But for small jobs this is an EXCELLENT sander, smooth and powerful (with fresh batteries). Highly recommended for very small / finishing jobs. ## Features - CORDLESS, POWERFUL 12V RANDOM ORBIT SANDER: combines compact palm grip build with power that’s engineered for professional applications - 5 INCH 8-HOLE SANDING PAD: ideal for both flat and concave/convex surfaces with optimal dust collection - ERGONOMIC PALM-GRIP DESIGN: helps provide maximum control and convenience - MOBILE DUST COLLECTION: allows choice of dust bag or vacuum hose attachment using a vac hose interface - EASY-TO-REACH ON/OFF SWITCH: offers intuitive operation - SOFT-START TECHNOLOGY: reduces startup torque to ease into the workpiece - INCLUDES: 12V sander, (1) medium backing pad, (1) sanding disc, (1) dust bag (battery sold separately) - Bosch 12V Max cordless power tools are covered by a three year limited warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | AC Adapter Current | 5 A | | ASIN | B09FYMG5MR | | Amperage Capacity | 5 A | | Battery Description | Lithium-Ion | | Best Sellers Rank | #25,377 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #15 in Power Random Orbit Sanders | | Brand | Bosch | | Brand Name | Bosch | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 348 Reviews | | Disc Diameter | 5 inches | | Grit Type | Medium | | Included Components | (1) Dust Bag, (1) GEX18V-5 12V Max Brushless 5 In.
