The Bosch PSM 18 LI Cordless Multi-Sander is a powerful and versatile tool which can be used for softwood, hardwood, lacquered/painted surfaces, and even metal. It features a handy rotatable delta tip which lets you work precisely along edges and around corners. In total, the tool has a sanding area of 104 square centimetres. Dust is collected in the sander's micro-filter system box.

The Bosch PSM 18 LI is a cordless tool, giving you the flexibility to use it where you want and complete freedom from a power cable. It takes an 18V lithium-ion battery which also powers Bosch's other Power4All tools. Note that the battery and charger is sold separately in case you already have them. We particularly like the tool's changeable Delta plate which is designed in such a way to extend the lifespan of the plate and the sanding paper.
