Same summary

The Bosch UniversalOrbit 18V-20 is an eccentric sander that is best suited to home users who occasionally need a flexible tool for sanding wood, furniture or smaller surfaces. Since the kit does not include a battery and charger, the product is particularly recommended for users who already have Bosch Power for All batteries or are looking for an additional tool for their existing cordless ecosystem. The 125 mm sanding disc diameter provides a good compromise between precision and speed of work, and for fine sanding or detail work, the selected tool type is usually more suitable than robust models. For those who need continuous work without interruption due to battery downtime, the non-included battery may be a limitation if they do not yet have the selected system.
