- Good Points
- 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!

- Good Points
- 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.

- Good Points
- 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
