Sanders. I've got some timber that I've cut and planed to size to use as shelves but I'd like to sand it. I'd also like to stand our wooden (open plan - eugh) staircase and obviously this isn't going to be a hand job. So to speak.
I don't want to buy multiple sanders so need something fairly versatile. I've got a sheet sander (an old B&D one) that doesn't seem very powerful. The sheets fall off at every opportunity etc.
I'd like something solid and powerful but versatile. Budget less than 100 ideally but if there's something that will change my life for more then I'd consider it.
Suspect I want a random orbital sander but any brands/ models to look for? Or not random orbit at all? I want it to fit into fiddly spaces so perhaps that's not the one I need unless it comes with detail attachments? I'd also like it to handle smoothing filler on walls etc if poss but not essential.
EDIT: I'm also looking for a drill so if you know of any deals with you get a solid sander a drill for less than 200 that'd be good. Needs to go through hard baked bricks without any trouble so will I presume need some kind of hammer function.
Not fussed if battery or mains powered. Suspect the heft from mains would be nice but if there's an option for both (i.e. battery powered but with a slot for a power cable too) that'd be brilliant.
