Flex are a German manufacturer of high quality tools and whilst this is a high quality tool, I suspect it is made in China to their specifications. It is compact, reasonably quiet for a brushed motor and the vibration is well controlled by rubber dampers. The paper holding clamps are both effective and easy to use and the paper perforator is a welcome and very useful addition. Dust extraction using the bag is reasonable but excellent when attached to a vacuum cleaner. It is a very well made and very effective little sander.
This sander is really excellent value,it's very easy to load & not too noisy . Vibration too your hand is very low compered to some others selling around the same price I'm very happy I made this make my choice.
