MP21-14 Manpa Belt Sander/Power File

I love the manpa power file, it works well, is versatile, and gives a good finish, good bit of kit

I have to say this tool is a game changer very well made as are all manpa tools,i have purchased a few manpa tools for my carving work as well as cannon bars and chains these guys at chainsawbars uk are my first call.

After 2 1/2 years of use (quite heavy use by 2 of us) the bearing in the head gave up. Contacted Manpa and got a new roller and bearing, which was a fairly easy fix. Missed it like hell while it was out of commission, so it is really useful. The belts, once used, cut up nicely and do service as a flap sander when fitted to a 4" M10 bolt, which improves their value a bit. So I've given it an extra star. Still expensive, but probably worth it in the absence of an equivalent.

Brilliant sanding tool from Manpa. A Quality and robust piece of kit that will get into places that other sanders can’t.

Surprisingly expensive for an attachment that will only fit some angle grinders and lacks a backing pad on either side of the belt. Most finger sanders have a backing on one side, this doesn't. Neither does it have a common belt size, so you are restricted to the (again expensive) ones made for it. They are, however, reasonably good quality and don't break easily. The attachment does do a job that is different, but the tight casting with too little adjustment for fitting to larger/smaller mounting collars and the price makes for a very small market.
