Product description
This drywall sander helps make sanding muds and plasters on the ceiling or wall and other surface prep get done more smoothly, easily and quickly. The Bosch GTR55-85 9 In. Drywall Sander features an exclusive Ultra-Flexible Head, which reduces the risk of damage to the surface, and it helps enable more effortless movement across ceilings and walls. The sander features two suction modes: wall-sanding mode and ceiling-suction mode. The ceiling-suction feature helps reduce the weight of the tool while working overhead. This helps to reduce strain and lessen fatigue. The T-Handle grip design provides a better and more adaptable grip to help reduce arm strain, especially overhead. The tool includes a quick-release extension pole, which allows the user to quickly adapt the length of the sander. Subtracting the extension will remove the weight of the pole versus a telescoping pole extension. The tool's easy-to-reach power switch, rpm and airflow controls allow adjustments without removing the hand from the grip.

- Reviewed in Canada on February 21, 2025Verified PurchaseThis thing is absolutely epic. My only complaint is it doesn’t have a light, which is crazy. However it is so good that I honestly don’t care. The dust collection with a regular shop vac and dust bag inside is fine for removing almost all the dust. Basically nothing gets air born anymore ! I can sand drywall and don’t need to prep anything. This is a time saver. I’m just a DIYer doing my own home Reno’s and this is worth the investment by far. It’s very light weight and has a very calculated design. I don’t buy cheap stuff. Now I was not going to buy a festool I’m not that crazy, so this is a great compromise. I’m going to add a usb led light on it attached with Velcro and I can live with that one exception.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 5, 2026Verified PurchaseWish it had a light.. besides that.. amazing product.

Reviewed in Canada on December 7, 2023Verified PurchasePonçage très efficace. Par contre, il faut arrêter régulièrement pour nettoyer les trous d’aspirations.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 8, 2025Verified PurchaseListen is this as good as the planex.. no
But for more then half the price it’s really good,
Works well to make the mudding process much less painful and the dust is significantly less , in comparison to hand sanding it collects 95%
Obviously there will be a little that fly’s off when you take the sander off the wall but what can you expect
- Reviewed in Canada on July 31, 2025Verified PurchaseWe haven't used this yet but the cardbox box came open and the sander and tote are scratched and show minor signs of use. There was absolutely no additional tape used or anything indicating that it's been tested prior to shipping. We hope it work okay when we use it next week!
- Reviewed in Canada on March 4, 2026Verified PurchaseWorks like it says good job!
- Reviewed in Canada on June 3, 2025Verified PurchaseLightweight and does great job!
- Reviewed in Canada on October 30, 2024Verified PurchaseExactly as advertised quality product will work harder than you can in a day

Rocky ThomasReviewed in the United States on April 1, 20255.0 out of 5 stars Unbeatable value on a great tool
Verified PurchaseI started with a Harbor Freight version that lasted a few jobs before the motor died. It worked just ok (about what you would expect for the price). I decided to upgrade to the Bosch after watching some reviews and researching.
The Bosch is a much better value as the quality, performance and ergonomics are far better. If I did drywall full time I would have the Festool, but I can't justify the cost difference and the Bosch is more than capabable for general home remodeling.
The balance and suction (I keep it on the middle suction setting and 4-6 vacuum power). I get zero dust in the air and the unit does "suck" to the wall greatly reducing fatigue but I don't have any issues with chatter or skipping. The soft start feature helps when starting the tool on the wall.
The build quality is very nice and the storage box is great as this isn't a tool I use every day. The buttons and control dials are all very well placed and logical; you never have to think about what does what.
The only minor complaints I have are that the black plastic surround leaves marks on the adjacent corners, and even without the edge guard, the corners aren't great with the sander (some of this is simple physics, not the tool's fault). Also, the clamp for the extension doesn't "snap" into place and has come undone a few times. I haven't looked to see if I can tighten it up, and it doesn't cause an issue when it does come loose.
The unit does not have a halo light on the head which isn't as big a deal as I thought it might be. I keep a work light shining on the wall anyway.
Unlike the review video I watched, I've had zero issues with clogging with mesh paper, even when removing large amounts of mud when skim coating walls and ceilings. I do have it connected to a DeWalt shop vac via a 20' Cen-Tec hose (the Cen-Tec hose end snaps perfectly into the Bosch snap collar BTW!).
I would recommend a dust extraction tool if you do a lot of sanding. I am only doing a couple of rooms and have filled multiple shop vac bags, but since I'm tight on space, I decided against using one. It's impressive just how much dust is collected!
It's a great tool, I'm sure the Festool is another level above and the D/A sanding versus the Bosch's rotary would be a game changer but for a home remodeler or advanced DIY guy the Bosch is perfect.
Jeff HopperReviewed in the United States on January 16, 20264.0 out of 5 stars Good tool , wish it had lights .
Verified PurchaseIt's a good sander, I knocked a star off for two reasons, It's a little heavy for ceilings, but that's to be expected with a heavier duty tool & although it's a good tool now, it would be a great tool if it had a ring of lights around the sanding head like the cheaper ones do.
rbmgf7Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 20255.0 out of 5 stars Makes the work effortless with a Bosch thumping vac
Verified PurchaseI had a cheap sander for a while. It did the job but it was very heavy and the head didn't articulate all that well since the motor was far from the head. It was basically like a weed eater. This sander is much lighter and has more degrees of freedom since the motor is on the head. Coupled with the Bosch vacuum with the auto thumper keeps you going. The old way I would have to periodically stop and clean out the Shop Vac filter making the job longer and dirtier. Love Bosch tools.
