Tool 34436 Sanding Block, Carded, in a Cut Carton

I like it. Been looking for a sandpaper holder for awhile, this fits the bill. First, I like that it's small. I don't do huge projects or anything, so this is all I need. Secondly, I like the round and angled sides, gives more options for sanding. Third, it's not that hard to put the sandpaper in, it's pretty easy. As for the quality, can't say much only had it for a little while, but it seems pretty good. I bought two of them. One for just sanding, and the other... this may sound strange but I use the other one for smoothing out my hand skin. My hands get rough sometimes, so I use a file to smooth it out. Turns out 220 grit paper with this thing smooths my hands perfectly.

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.

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.

Great sanding block. It's very well made and should last for a very long time.

The grip when using....brings on hand fatigue pretty quickly....I have small hands and it is kind of difficult to grip without scraping my knuckles on the block or the wood....if you have large hands...this is going to make you cranky....I read in a review about the holes in the bottom of the block causing tears in the sand paper so I glued a thin piece of cardboard cereal box to cover the holes....I could sand around edges without it tearing....the biggest Oh No.......I bought replacement sandpaper...sized for this sanding block...only the paper is thicker than the singular sheet that comes with the block....and you can't get the lifted red handle to snap back into place because the sandpaper is too thick....UGH....that is a pretty difficult design flaw to over come....it still is workable...because your hand is holding it and pressing down....yet there are slips of paper and your hand...that make you a bit cranky at the lack of function... Yet for the price....of it....I got what I paid for....

I have never liked the old-school rubber sanding blocks with the little pointy bits to secure the sandpaper, so I set out to find a block that used a more sophisticated approach to hold the abrasive in place. This Warner sanding block is easy to load and easy to hold, and makes a simple task much easier. Pinch the little black tabs and the red part pops up. Insert the new quarter sheet of sandpaper and push the red part back down. This secures and tensions the sandpaper, and you're back to work in just a few seconds. I have to mention the importance of using good quality sandpaper. The heavier backing and better abrasives of something like the 3M ProGrade paper is worth every penny of the slightly higher price. Coupling that with the quality and ease-of-use of this sanding block will definitely improve your productivity.

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.

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.
