Best detail sanders UK 2026: mouse and delta sanders for furniture, doors and corners

The PSM 200 AES comes with two sanding plates: an iron-shaped one for corners and edges and a rectangular one for medium flat areas like a door panel or drawer front. They swap quickly with Bosch's SDS system. Electronic speed preselection lets you go slower on soft wood and paint, and the microfilter box catches fine dust. It comes in a plastic case with two sample sanding sheets.

Owners say it's excellent on all surfaces and makes light work of preparing wood for painting, and they like how light it is. Sanding sheets are a Bosch hook-and-loop fit, widely sold in UK DIY shops. It's sold and shipped by Amazon.

The original Mouse sander has been around since 1998 and is one of the best-selling power tools in the UK. It has a 55W motor, 11,000rpm, rubber grips and a teardrop-shaped base that gets into corners, with quick-fit hook-and-loop sheets (six included). The shape is designed to sit under your palm like a computer mouse, which gives good control on small pieces.

With over 15,000 reviews, owners say it's light, easy to use and effective for small jobs, including on MDF. It's less powerful than the 200W sanders here, so expect it to take longer on thick old paint. It's sold and shipped by Amazon.

The newer Mouse adds three rubber grip areas, a micro-filtration dust canister and a dust-sealed slide switch, and comes in a kit box with nine accessories, including a finger attachment for getting into chair spindles and mouldings. BLACK+DECKER says its mesh sanding sheets last four times longer than standard paper.

Owners call it a brilliant piece of kit that's comfortable to hold. Dust collection gets mixed feedback: some say it works well, others find it ineffective, so wear a mask either way. The listing gives two different power figures, so I haven't quoted one. It's sold and shipped by Amazon.

Bosch's cordless detail sander uses the green 18V Power for All batteries shared with Bosch's DIY drills and garden tools. It's designed with the battery balanced behind the pad for comfortable one-handed sanding, has a microfilter dust box and hook-and-loop sheets, and suits hard and soft wood, painted surfaces, edges and corners. Three sheets are included.

Owners praise its quality and battery life, and like that it uses the same battery as their other Bosch tools. It's handy for sanding a garden bench, a shed door or a banister with no cable to trip over. It's sold by Amazon and is body only.

Einhell's delta sander has a 200W motor, a 2mm oscillating circuit and variable speed from 12,000 to 22,000 oscillations a minute. The triangular pad turns to three positions, so you can use all three points evenly before changing the paper. It comes with a dust extraction adapter for a vacuum and nine sheets in four grits.

Owners rate the quality, but reliability feedback is mixed, with at least one owner saying it stopped working after a few months. There's no dust box, so you'll want it connected to a vacuum indoors. It's sold and shipped by Amazon.

Ryobi's cordless corner sander has a 1.8mm orbit for fast, controlled sanding, a triangular pad for tight corners and edges, and quick-fit hook-and-loop sheets. It's aimed at light-to-medium jobs: fine finishing, paint removal, furniture restoration and prepping for decorating. It's body only, so you'll need a Ryobi ONE+ battery.

Owners call it excellent quality and easy to use, with good power and long battery life, and consider it good value. It's sold and shipped by Amazon.

HYCHIKA's detail sander has a 200W motor at 14,000rpm, a six-hole dust collection system with a removable box, a soft-grip handle for one-handed use and hook-and-loop sheets. It comes with 12 sheets in P80, P120 and P240 grits, so you can go from rough to smooth straight away.

Owners call it a brilliant tool for furniture and smaller DIY projects, easy to use and worth the price. It's a lesser-known brand with a shorter track record than Bosch or BLACK+DECKER. It's sold and shipped by Amazon.
