This looks like a bit of a mean bit of kit and cordless too. Limited market, but nice to see some new tools coming through at last. Through tool dust extraction is nicely integrated.

That is a cool idea and love the cordless solution. The only downside is you still need a vacuum to collect dust, so you are still attached and dragging around something behind you. With most vacuums having an outlet and working side by side with the tool, meaning once you turn the tool on, the vacuum goes on, I am not sure how good the cordless solution is with this tool.
It’s not here in the States yet. I don’t think it’s bluetooth so you still would have to switch on the Vacuum and kind of defeats the purpose of being cordless. The sander still would need a hose to hook to the vacuum so you might as well have a cord and a hose so when you turn on the sander the whole rig turns on. Without a vacuum you just blowing dust everywhere.
