These Bosch GEX 150 AC 6 inch velcro sanders are probably one of the most popular random orbital sanders on the market.

A very common sander to get in for repair, but due to a fault, but age.
These could be 20 years old when they come in for repair, needing brushes or bearings.
A very good…

  1. Got one of these off Ebay for less than the empty blown plastic cases sell for them as it apperntly didn't work/was underpowered figured it would be bushes so ordered them before it arrived, once the sander arrived turned out the seller didn't know about the speed controller rolled it from 1 to 6 and fully working, great sander to use as well

  2. Can see me watching this again in the near future as I've got the 110v machine that I've had a few years. Thanks for doing the video Dean and look forward to the next one!

  3. Dean, picked up your channel a week or so ago – pretty much watched everything in your back catalogue now – just brilliant. I’ve got a fleet of power tools and I feel that nothing is now out of my scope if it packs up on me! Thanks for taking the time to film your work and for sharing it 👌🏻🍺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

  4. Owner will be excited to get this one back, I know I would be. Something I noticed is Deans channel is only a year old?? Pumping out content like this (maybe some more tool reviews like the skils, i think we would all love that) he'll have 1 mill subs in no time.

  5. I had a sander that seemed to have no power at all. Of course I checked the fuse and it was ok. Next I opened it up and seeing nothing dismantled the switch to check it and spotted a black spot on one contact. Cleaned that up and had a working (albeit cheap) sander. While it was under warranty it wasn't worth the cost of sending back for repair.

    Then there's another that just wouldn't turn. I cleaned all the saw dust out of it and confirmed nothing electrical wrong. Then I spotted one bearing was stuck fast and the one on the opposite side was fine. Cleaned it out and the sander has worked perfectly since. Even though this one is a fairly cheap brand, it is better than the Makita one I bought.

  6. @Dean Doherty Do you ever get any Hilti products in and have you ever reviewed the contentool impact wrench. Would love to see what you think of these cheaper brands, not meaning Hilti in that sentence haha

  7. Funny story: i was in consumer science last year and i saw a cordless Dewalt sander in the garbage, i asked my teacher why it was there, he said "i dont know! everytime i turn it on, it spins very slowly and after 15 seconds, it starts smoking." then i asked if hes tried fixing it, he said "been trying to for almost a month, and no luck" i made a bet that if i fixed it by the next school day which was around 15 hours, i could get Lunch, 😂 he told me "if you can fix that in under 15 hours, ill let you have the damn thing, that things pissed me off enough". turns out it was a bad bearing filled with sand dust, cleaned the bearing out with bearing cleaner, filled it back up with fresh grease, and got it working like new. He was pissed at me but not in a bad way, but also shocked cuz of how fast i got it fixed, which by the way i got it fixed in under an hour and a half, including diagnosis. So i got a free Dewalt cordless sander which ive been using for over a year now. And im 17 Btw 😂

  8. Part of the entertainment value of Dean's videos is the anxiety I get watching him toss around all those small parts and then it works out at the end.
