Bosch 3725DEVS 3.3 Amp 5-Inch Random Orbit Variable Speed Sander with Dust Canister An exceptionally smooth start gives you a great first impression, and the more you use this sander, the more impressed you’ll be with its eager 3.3 amp motor and Bosch’s Constant Response circuitry, which maintains constant speed under load. It uses hook-and-loop discs, far more durable than the adhesive kind, and the pad-dampening system helps prevent swirl marks. There’s very little vibration in hand, giving you beautiful control. Adding to that is the ergonomic soft-grip front handle, which is easily detachable for maneuvering into tight spaces. The two-finger trigger is comfortable and smooth, and the lock button engages quickly and easily without contorting your hand. Variable speed adjusts at the turn of the thumb wheel, and the motor handles even abrupt changes like a dream. Bosch’s new Microfilter is a great improvement over the previous cloth dust bags, too.–Kris Jensen-Van Heste
Customer Review: bogus
This is actually a review I wrote for the Bosch planer. But as I already had written a previous review It would not allow a 2nd one. So I am writing it here.
I think some of these reviews are fake. After cmy problems with this planer I noticed that some of the other reviews were so glowing. so I clicked on ” Ted Peterson”.
Surprise, surprise. He has made 8 reviews. All 8 were Bosch products!! All 8 were rated 5 star!! And all 8 were gushy in their praising of Bosch perfection. All 8 repeatedly mentioned the Bosh name and could not find ONE bad thing to mention in the performance of 11 tools. Have you ever bought 11 perfect tools?
Same for ” Skip Morris”. 9 reviews. 9 Bosch tools ( and nothing else). Nine 5 star reviews. Nine Bosch love affairs.
I think they work for Bosch.
Customer Review: Never Again!!!
This sander touts itself to be ready for the toughest job, but after replacing the pad and having the main center bolt break after slightly over a year of use in a sign shop this sander comes up very short. I was dissapointed in this being a Bosch product and have recently purchased the Rigid 5″ sander which is superior in every way, less vibration, smoother & quicker results, a carrying case, extra pad, sanding discs and other extras.

Customer Review: Fantastic Cordless For the Lady in your life
I gave this to a dear friend and she loved it. It is the perfect size and weight to make use very comfortable.
Customer Review: Never received it!!
I ordered this to get new 9.6 V batteries for my 15 Y.O. drills, since those batteries wouldn’t hold a charge.
However, it seems that delivery by USPS didn’t happen—–(a PO employee got there first). The 2 stars is for no delivery. I would give this drill 5 stars based on my usage experience over 15 years.

Customer Review: Great Purchase
I am so pleased with this Makita cordless drill. Love it, love it, love it. It replaced a Craftsman 15 volt which would not keep a charge. This Makita 12 volt has more power than the Craftsman 15, and is so much lighter in weight that it makes any typical household use go easier. I would recommend it to anyone who needed one for this purpose. And as always, Amazon delivery was prompt, price can’t be beat.
