Sanding Block Preppin’ Weapon | Hand Sander Great For Big Hands Or Sore Joints | Reuse Sandpaper Over And Over | Wet Or Dry Sand Wood Or Autobody Much Faster | Green

These are great sanding blocks. Holds sandpaper securely without tearing.

For those times when you need to do some sanding by hand, this fits the bill perfectly! If I had to think of a negative, it’d be that the logo is placed right at the very top where your hand grips the block. After using this for a few hours straight I literally had to use a piece of sandpaper to sand down the logo. It’s recessed enough to make your hand feel pretty raw. After sanding it down though, I was able to use it for another few hours without any discomfort. I love how strongly the clips keep the sandpaper in place too, it’s nice not to have to fuss with it. I don’t know if it I’d really get enough benefit out of buying another one for different grits of paper, but I may in the future if I start doing more sanding than I do now. I would rate this product 5 stars all day long. And have already recommended it to a couple friends and family members who work with wood.

Large sanding surface is ideal, and it is easy to replace the paper. Highly recommend this as an essential tool.

When I bought this thing I wasnt expecting much, but I was quickly proved wrong. The quick paper holding mechanism alone is worth the price of admission, and it just gets better from there. The block is nice and large, fits in the hand wonderfully, and is just a great overall size. It fits the 3.66x9 sandpaper strips well, which I appreciate for the convenience, but you could just as easily cut apart full size sheets of sandpaper. The 3.66x9 sheets are actually oversized at first glance, but then I realized you could fold the edges over and use the corner to get into nooks and crannies. As I said, the lever action holding mechanism is fantastic. It means you can easily use one block for multiple grits. This makes it worth the price to me. And if you start with one, you may find yourself wanting to get a second or third just because of how nice they are. Overall, Im not only impressed with this sanding block, but also surprised by the fact that a sanding block managed to actually impress me.

Very handy sanding block. Outstanding quality. I have two so that I can pre-load a back up sanding block.

Lets face it. Sanding sucks. I spend 40 hours making something and then it seems like another 40 hours sanding and finishing. The preppin weapons make the sanding part much easier. You can quickly make a single cut on a standard sheet, flip the levers on the preppin weapon, put in the sheet, and lock levers back. Takes 20 seconds and speeds things up. The bottom is slightly padded, maybe 1/8 inch to make the sanding a little smoother. I bought one, like it a lot, then bought one of every color (there a six colors, not all available on amazon). I have several other sanding block systems but they are lesser quality and I dont use, all soon to be in trashcan. I wrote the grit size on each one, in the order of the rainbow (roygbiv) from corse to fine. Now it much easier and frankly faster to hand sand. I still use random orbit first to 120, but then switch to the preppin weapon to get up to 180. Then 220 after first coat of finish, 300 after all subsequent coats. Highly recommended.

Pricey, but it is easy to get the sandpaper taunt on it. Wish they made one for smaller hands.

Firstly, I am a serious hobbyist, not a production woodworker. I use exclusively hand tools, sharp ones :-) and I try to do very little sanding. (As a matter of fact, I hate sanding) But, lots of people do a lot of sanding and we all do some of it, no matter what our working style or methods. These things are great. Sure I could fuss with some little pieces of wood, and felt, or neoprene or some such, not to mention wingnuts etc. and make my own cool little sanding blocks, but for the savings in time and effort these things are really a smarter solution. Ergonomic, the mechanism works reliably, makes better use of every square inch of your sandpaper, color-coded for godsakes!... Need I say more? I hate sanding less now. And I am grateful.

Best sanding block Ive found, Easy to put in sheets, solidly built and fits my hand well.

Finally a sanding block that uses most of a quarter sanding sheet. Good clamping mechanism and very easy on the hand. Highly recommended.
