Can anyone recommend a palm sander that has extractor (not vacuum attachment) that is not battery powered but takes cheap palm sanding papers like this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Piece-Palm-Sander-Pads-Punched/dp/B004R4UA4G/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1340029679&sr=1-1-catcorr
I looked at a few like B&D and Bosch and more but they seem to have got some bad reviews or the sanding papers are hard to source or expensive. I can get 5 papers for £1, but I seen papers for Bosch for a lot more and seem to use there own. I only have B&Q near by
My old one packet in after many years B&Q branded one and it was really good accept didnt have dust extraction like the new ones do built in.
Budget around £40 its just for light work sanding paintwork mostly
I got a delta sander which isnt much good and is battery powered
Thanks

It doesn't have a powered extractor but does use cheap paper. Last lot I got were from Aldi."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

Thanks I looked at that one today in store I found it a little on heavy side for me but I wont rule it out entirely. Shame it doenst have the extractor thing on end that sucks dust into a container. Might end up with it though if I cant find anything better, papers seem really expensive for some of the brands and hard to get locally. I saw wilkos sell draper papers and price isn't bad at all
10 papers for £2.24 not bad

You can buy hook and loop rolls from screwfix that you cut to size to make cheap paper for any corner sanders.0
