Recommendation : Sander?

Me again...

Sorry to trouble you kind folks with more of my DIYlessknowledge but I was wondering if anyone could recommend the best electric sander for the following tasks I need to complete :

Skirting Boards
Doors / Door Frames
Walls (smoothing down filler / damage left by bordering.)

Many Thanks.

  • I have just done all those jobs using a McKellar Palm Sander 105w that my dad left here, including windowsils.
    Worked really well.
    However, I cannot find it online (he said it came from Focus, say no more) but I expect there are plenty of alternatives.

    I rarely use an electric sander when decorating. Sandpaper on a cork block and foam sanding blocks always work well for me.

    Has to be the best answer for the occaisional/casual diyer.

    You will spend the same on abrasive sheets, infact more if you go powered so just get a regular change of abrasive in a wide range of grits and it will be easy peasy;)
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed
