Thanks for taking your time to read our reviews on the best multi sanders that are currently available on the United Kingdom marketplace.
There are so many of these sanders, with many different uses and price points, that its hard to know where to start! I suppose that's why they are called multi-sanders.
As the name suggests, these multi sanders or detail sanders as they are sometimes known, are made for any odd jobs. They are just something you can use quickly for a small and handy job. You wont be sanding large surfaces or tackling any specialized jobs but they are a really useful tool to have in your workshop.
Just below you will see our top 5 list of multi sanders. However, we also know you are busy, so if you don't have time to read our full review, we would highly recommend the Bosch PSM 100 A Multi-Sander

Multi Sander Buying Tips
When buying any tool there are a few things i normally ask myself.
- How often will i use this tool. Is it something i will use every day or just once in a while
- Is it something I will use myself in the house or will I be taking it to other jobs? Would i like a carrying case with it
- With a tool like this i need to know what type of sanding discs it takes, are they readily available or do they take a specialised type. I will always go for the velcro sanding discs/pads
- How much do i want to pay?
Once you know what you’ll be doing with the sander, you can figure out what specifications you need,.
Around half the times i review a particular tool the number one rated model is the most expensive. I do take price into consideration and it can affect the rating. In this case the Bosch muti sander I rated as number 1 is the best, even if it costs a bit more. Its a tool for life so if you can afford it, definitely pick it.
