Exactly what I wanted to work on various jobs on my Boat. Brilliant for getting in those narrow awkward places.
Bad Points
I was dissapointed not to find some parts the instruction pamphlet suggested would be in the box, ie, a cranked belt sanding extension, and a narrow belt extension for tight places! It also suggested there was an extra dust bag. But when I rang to enquire, I was informed by a non to helpful gentleman that I had to purchase them if I needed them!

Ease of use. Multiple uses. Lightweight. It's a Swiss army file.
Bad Points
Nose bearing roller needs to be on a bearing, the bush used gets noisy and develops float after a while. The rubber part develops rounded edges too, this courses the belt to wander and strand on the edges.

New dust filter/cyclone works pretty well. Easy to see if it is full and empty it.
Bad Points
Some dust leakage from the filter.

Easy to use and accurate if you only need to file a small area, not much kick back in use. Does waht it says on the tin
Bad Points
Belts susceptible to damage if caught on a thin edge.
Still pricey even after years on the market, I suppose good equipment is never cheap though!.

Good Points
This tool really does exactly what it should-it makes filing metal,one of the most mundane and time consuming tasks-an absolute breeze
Bad Points
Occasionally,the sanding belt can 'hop off 'the guides,especially when filing close to a perpendicular edge.This slows things down as you then have to re-fit the belt
