Factory-Reconditioned Bosch 1297DK -RT 2 Amp 1/4-Sheet Sander with Dust Canister Review
This is a reconditioned power tool. Reconditioned generally means that the tool has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the tool back to like new conditions. Some tools may contain cosmetic blemishes. Bosch took a great palm sander and made it better with a clever innovation that gets your sandpaper on the deck fast and securely. They call it the SheetLoc Sandpaper Attachment System. It's a simple configuration that makes loading sandpaper quicker and easier. Just open the front and rear clamps, insert the edge of the paper in the front and wrap it around to the back as usual. But when you close the rear clamp, it pulls the sandpaper taut and flat against the sanding bed. It's about time somebody figured this one out. The integrated dust collection system is nice, though of course you'll get more extraction when you hook the sander up to your standard dust collector or a wet/dry. On its own, it pulls in a good amount of sanding dust, and it's as snap to empty the canister. It uses regular sandpaper sheets, but you'll have to pop on the neat hole-puncher that's including you're your paper is seated; that lets the dust collector do its work. We like the feel of it and how hungry it is when it's wearing 60-grit. By the time you get up to 220, you'll have a gorgeous, smooth finish.Factory-Reconditioned Bosch 1297DK -RT 2 Amp 1/4-Sheet Sander with Dust Canister Customer reviews

The paper-change feature on this one is a little bit of heaven. It's easy, it's quick and you won't pinch your delicate lady fingers (or worse). The little red button on the front is what makes it sweet and good. Press that button and the sandpaper slides in easily. On the back, the paper is threaded through a little lever. I love this feature. Oh mercy, do I love this feature. The dust-catcher does a decent job of trapping sawdust but as often as not, I use it without the rear-bagger dealie. The other super-nice feature: It is not painful to sand with this sander. Most other sanders vibrate my hands, wrist and arm so bad that it is quite painful and unpleasant. I don't know how they did it, but this sander is almost vibration free. Speaking as a woman who has sanded about 12 billion board feet of lumber, this is the best palm sander I've seen on the market. I'm very impressed.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.Another quality Bosch toolBy Mark D. SchnittmanI already own a Bosch variable speed 5" random orbital sander, and was impressed with the build quality and ergonomics of it. I needed a 1/4 sheet sander, and saw this reconditioned unit for sale (great price, looked brand new), so I grabbed it. This is an excellent unit, and I really like the mechanism for clamping the sandpaper to the base plate -- to tools, no fuss, holds the sandpaper firmly in place, and easy to do while in the midst of a job. The vibration is minimal, the noise is minimal, and the dust collection works fine. My only wish is that I had bought the variable speed model, but I'm happy nevertheless. This unit was worth it's price -- highly recommended.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.Happy Camper...By Madelene CaselliThis is the 4th reconditioned item I've purchased from Amazon.
