Trade Associates AF44L 7 Piece Dura Block Sanding Kit

Super good product.

This kit was great. I used every block at differnt times during my body work, high build primer, and color sanding. I would not have had the great results I achieved without this kit!

I do body work and paint on boats, shooting AwlGrip and doing a lot of fiberglass work. These have made my life genuinely so much easier. They’re well worth the money, and this pack has probably all of them that you need and you can add later if necessary. Comfortable to hold, paper sticks well, all around great tools for our trade

A lot of times you see something on Amazon and you dont picture it being professional level quality, but I assure you with these, it is!You want into a professional autobody shop and ask the body techs what blocks they use, I bet you you will find them with at least a couple different durablocks.Durablock knows how to make sanding blocks, from the perfect level of density yet soft to conform to any curve, from flexible enough for any job yet solid enough to always stay true to your angle and block evenly, materials lasting a lifetime! They have all the shapes and sizes available for doing any panel or job.I have this set along with a handful of others.You can get these style which is for sticky back sandpaper, or you can get hook and loop style for velcro style sandpaper.I prefer sticky but one thing to consider, with sticky once you stick that paper on then its garbage once you pull it off so if you want to change grits but your current paper is still new, well you can see the problem where as hook and loop you can just pull off and re stick tons of times.This is a absolute MUST have for doing bodywork

Dura Block has listened to the comments about the location of the UPC stickers and now uses easy to remove stickers placed on the printed backside of the blocks instead of the face.These blocks are the best blocks you can buy for the price. They offer a nice, true, flat face with some slight flexibility. The variety of shapes in the set will be all you need for most projects.I bought these from Auto Body Tool Mart here on Amazon and the service was super fast. These are the only sanding blocks that are in the same league as higher-end products like 3M for half the price.These are meant for PSA type abrasives (peel & stick). The Velcro (hook & loop) set is available from Amazon for slightly more money.

I'm a total newbie to sanding/body work, but I'm putting together a fiberglass kit car, and I need to do some finishing work to knock down some flashing lines, etc. I'm pretty decent with the mechanical part of the build, but the fiberglass work has had me worried for some time now.I ended up picking up this kit, and have been making pretty extensive use of it in the last week. Mostly the cylinder, and the small block.These are pretty stiff, and let me put some arm into the sanding process, which is nice for my current phase.When I get to more finishing up work, and sanding on the curved panels of the car, I'm going to need to use softer blocks, though.Also to note, when using these with wetdry paper used wet, they don't seem to absorb too much water, which is nice -- they're still comfortable and easy to hold.

My husband does body work and this is great for him

This is a nice set for anyone who works on sanding and painting rigs, or just sanding stuff in general. I use these to sand on acoustic guitars I refinish.One thing to keep in mind - these are relatively stiff. If you're thinking these are really bendy and can be used for sanding tight bends (think sanding the waist of an acoustic guitar), think again. If thats what you're looking for, you should consider looking at their more flexible offerings.The company's website does offer the more flexible version, but this set was fine for me. Just keep it in mind if you're wanting to sand stuff where flexibility is needed.
