Einhell Professional 18V Brushless Random Orbital Sander, Bare

The Einhell Professional Cordless Orbital Sander 18V PXC sits at number four in this guide. At £74.99 it is the cordless pick here: an 18 V random orbital sander sold as body only, rated 4.7 out of 5 across 641 ratings, with a brushless motor, speed-control electronics and a 125 mm pad on a 3.2 mm orbit. It is also the entry where the amperage argument running through this guide has nothing to bite on — the listing quotes no watts and no amps at all, because the tool draws from a battery pack rather than a mains cable.

What the listing does publish is worth reading carefully. Its Item Highlight gives the 3.2 mm orbit, the 125 mm pad and up to 24,000 rpm; the same page carries a "Grit Rating" of 120 even though the box holds P60, P80 and P120 sheets, and "Number of Items: 3" refers to those three sheets rather than to three tools. Two bullets describe a "Rotary Sander" and refer to "the grinder", while the item type reads "Cordless Random Orbital Sander" — a copy-and-paste slip, not a different machine. The star breakdown shown on the page adds up to 100 against a stated 641 ratings, so treat the split as indicative rather than complete. Every figure here comes from the Amazon listing, not from a test of our own.
