Good tool, best in power and hand tools

I've been using one of these for years and bought another so I can switch from one grit to another without delay. If you have resources, take four. Set yourself a "color code" for the grit and I think you'll have more fun sanding. I have a Festool grinder, but sometimes I have to do it by hand, especially with the last grit.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Great price

It is very convenient to put paper. Very comfortable to hold

I love how easy it is to move this block from one end of the board to the other while sanding. I also love how easy it was to slip the sandpaper in. I'm glad I spent a little more and bought such a quality device. Preppin's gun is on the left of the photo. This reduced the need for a mill.

Pros
  • nice touch
Cons
  • functionality

A little wasted sandpaper.

Compared to other sanding blocks I have used, this one offers a larger sanding surface. Waste is also low. By that I mean that only a small portion of the sandpaper you put in isn't used for sanding, maybe an inch or so. I also don't get spikes like some sharpening stones. It is also easy to install sandpaper in it and it has good holding power. Too bad I didn't know about this sooner.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Excellent sanding block

I've owned it for about a year and use it for sanding wood and it's great! Hold it in place (often they're 2 3/4x5". This block solves some problems with them. This block takes up 1/4 of a standard 9x11 sheet in the short direction, while these take up 1/3 taking up the length way - and most of it goes into the sanding block and doesn't get used, so you get more sanding off each sheet. That's it.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

The best sanding block I've ever had!

Best sanding block I've ever had! In fact, I liked this pad so much that I will be purchasing several other colors, each containing a different paper grain, to change less for simplicity and organization. Should have bought these years ago! I've always made my own blocks and have had several different designs. However, with a rubberized pad on the underside of this block, a more forgiving grind is provided, as well as a "softer" grind from corners. The block's weight is also a nice feature, as…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Includes negative

Excellent goods. I was looking for a tough one.

Excellent product. For years I've been looking for a hard sanding block that can be easily installed and removed with sandpaper - perfect for all tasks. Even though the sandpaper is very quick and easy to attach and remove, I will be buying more. I use 4 grit sandpaper regularly and intend to get one for each commonly used grit. Also, if you use Norton sandpaper, they use different colors for different grit papers: 80 grit is blue paper, 100 and 150 grit is red paper, and 220 grit is yellow…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • A slight twist

A high quality remake of a well known item

This is one of those cases where someone has taken a simple item and made a thorough and high quality makeover, taking the tool to the next level. even. I've used store-bought cork-backed blocks and other wooden or rubberized industrial blocks. The industrial blocks I use have either clamps that pierce the paper or screwed holders that clamp the paper. None of them are stuck to the paper, and the paper tends to tear or come loose. Screws/thumbscrews are also slow and fiddly. Suffice it to say…

Pros
  • A high quality build
Cons
  • Requires an outlet

You need it-! - Hand and power tools

My first question is why have I waited so long to buy this thing? I'm a hack who loves to mess around (killing time) on various wood projects. Well, after spending almost 8 months on a wooden surfboard project, I didn't want to trust the "block sanding" with a piece of belt paper pinned to a block of wood (like last time). I figured you could spend money and get a tool that does the job. It does. Easy to use and I've put it in three different extremes. 3M adhesive paper, standard sheet paper…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

This is the best sanding block I have ever found

This is the second block I have bought in the last few weeks - they are great! They're longer than most cheaper plastic sanding blocks and heavier, which I consider a plus. The longer length allows for better sanding of large, flat surfaces, and the added weight makes them more stable when sanding (when sandpaper grips wood, lightweight plastics tend to tip over at the edges). Cheaper ones made of plastic are much more prone to breakage if dropped while they seem to be much more durable. They…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled
