Corner Sander - and mail order vendor gloat

[Charlie Plesums]

I have gotten really tired of hand sanding in corners. Years ago I had a cheap corner sander (hand vibrator) that I disposed of on Craigs list. So based on personal recommendations I finally decided to order a Bosch 1294VSK corner detail sander kit.

The sander arrived, and in the brief use so far, appears to do a good job actually sanding, with good dust collection.

But the big gloat is the discovery of CPO. Their web site was efficient, and promised free shipping the same day. Their price was only a couple dollars more than the cheapest web sites that offered to "ships in 2-4 days" or other questionable practices, and far cheaper than Amazon. But the best news is that the sander arrived, with their "free ground shipping," less than 48 hours after I pulled the trigger on line. CPO will be one of the first places I check in the future for mail order tools.

The person who recommended the Bosch sander included a link to it on the bosch.cpotools.com web site, and the heading on each page was CPO Bosch. The ad and the invoice explicitly said "new" so I figured they also sold reconditioned units, but I had found what I wanted.

When I got the sander, the return address and the invoice said CPO, so I figured that was the real company name. When I followed your link, it said that they had 21+ different web sites, each dedicated to a brand of tool (and following the Bosch link from that site, I got to the pages I had used). Maybe they get a better reception from the factory if they never mix Bosch with Makita with DeWalt with... whatever. I find it a little confusing, but I sure like their service. And I appreciate your "master" link... I will use that as my bookmark.
