Warner Manufacturing Tool 34436 Sanding Block, Carded, in a Cut Carton

I only need to sand things for small projects around the house and this worked great on wood putty repairs, filling small holes with wall Spackle for a smoother appearance. I also used it on an antique finished stain that I had used 15 years ago to lighten up a fake oak antique bookcase that had been damaged by a water bottle that had slowly leaked that caused the wood to splinter off from the top of it. I use this for a pantry storage in my kitchen and decided to nourish the wood with Old English Lemon Oil for dark wood rather than filling it with wood putty and re-staining it again. The oil worked too well because it floated on the undamaged part and required multiple wipe downs with paper towels throughout the day. I wanted to put back the cream colored linen table runner that decorated and hid the previous damage but was concerned the dark oil would stain it all over again. Finally, I used this Warner Tool 34436 Sanding Block to finish it off and wiped it down with a damp paper towel to remove the dust, wiped it down with dry paper towel and it looks and feels much nicer. The linen table runner is back on and it looks wonderful again. Very happy with it for my household projects! I give this tool an additional 5 Granny Gems approval rating.

Easy to use

This is a very handy item for sanding with emery paper. I gave it 4 stars because I hoped it was a big bigger. But the item itself is good.

Until recently, I have only used sanding blocks a few times. Whenever I needed one, I made do with general use grit and used it until the sides were smoother than a baby's back side.My old method wouldn't work for my current project, so I went searching for cheap and easy alternatives to having a bunch of $5 sanding blocks in various grits. This sander had decent reviews and was the right price. Now that I have used it for a bit, I give this sander high marks, especially for the following qualities:Sustainablility - I am not throwing blocks away and when I pull off the used sand paper, I use the scraps for other projects.Versatilility - I love that I can switch out to a different grit so easily. I was afraid that it would be hard to get a tight fit, but it isn't. Bonus - there is a rounded edge and an angled edge for detail work.Affordablility - for less than I have spent on a Scotch sanding block, I now have a tool that will last me for quite some time.

It was cheap so 3 stars. Designed for manufacturability, not function. Works adequately on flat surfaces.

What I ordered is what I got ideal for what I wanted. Yes I would let people know about a good product.

Like that it takes a quarter sheet, that is relatively easy to make out of the regular letter size sandpaper sheets.The sharp edge makes getting into hard to access areas possible. I have a great orbital sander, but sometime I just need the hand sanders. I have 3 of these and keep 150, 220, and 320 on them. I have others that have 80 grit.At the easy price I can afford to have one for each of my fav grits. Use them over and over and hard pressure and none of them have failed to function.Putting the sandpaper in and making it tight is pretty easy.Cons: Can't think of any, Have had 4 other hand sanders and this is by far the best functioning with overall ease of use.

I ended up putting moleskin on to cushion the paper. Red handle doesn't grip tightly/connection will wear with the soft plastic. Nice shape, easy to use.
