Good budget sander for skirtings

Rapished

Anyone used or have experience with a good sander for stripping paint from skirting boards ready to re paint? Being lazy the quicker the better etc.

Thanks keystone, anything you've used with power to it? I prefer to get jobs done in less than a year lol, think my arm would fall off before I finished a room with that

Actually they are very quick. I seldom use a power sander but rely on one of those almost exclusively.

Your knees will give out long before your arms do.

I have the Bosch version of this and have to agree, it is the best piece of equipment you can buy. It has so many uses and is a must have for any keen DIYer.

Bosch blue one for me, and its almost like its become part of my body, it be lost without it, well maybe not lost, but severly down on productivity, if only it could make a cup of tea I would consider it part of the family!

I know exactly what you mean. Mine stopped working the other day just as I was in the middle of renovating the bathroom. I was gutted and felt like giving up on my project.

Luckily, it was just a blown fuse. :j
