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

Supports the sand paper and great quality

But the Preppin Weapon makes it as tolerable as it can be. Dimensions are correct so you use a whole sheet without a narrow strip left over. The attachment mechanism is great - solid and secure, absolutely doesnt slip. The foam base has just the right amount of give. Feels good in your hand and is really comfortable to use. Cant believe I waited so long to buy one...

This is without a doubt the best sanding block for normal sandpaper ever created. The clamp system is what makes it so. Always, on normal paper blocks the paper gets loose. On the preppin weapon this is immediately fixable and permanent. Overpriced? NO WAY. I own 8 of them and would never give them up. Once you know quality you dont go back.

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.

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.

Have one of each color - 5 total. This is the best sanding block I’ve ever used. So simple to load, hold, different colors for different grits saves a ton of time.

Currently own three of these and would highly recommend. Smooth, comfortable shape for low-fatigue sanding. Not inexpensive but a quality tool that should last a lifetime.

Much longer than expected. Probably best for automotive not so great for wood working.

An absolutely fantastic item. I wish I had had this when I started my restoration efforts in 2009! I’m ordering #2 tonight. Different color because I switch between 80- and 100-grit a lot. Every time I use it I am impressed with the thought and engineering behind this. One thing I really love is how well they thought out the clampdown mechanism for the sandpaper. It will actually pull the paper in and tighten it the length of the tool. This is a huge deal, because a loose paper does a lousy sanding. That’s always been a complaint I have about the rubber block versions... I can never get the sandpaper tight, and the spikes hurt. In addition, it has a hard rubber face. This ensures a planar surface, but it also provides enough give to accommodate imperfections in the materials that you are sanding. Use a jig to cut your full sheets into quarters. Perfect size. Make a jug by screwing a long hacksaw blade to something sturdy... door frame, sawhorse, stud.... Put a couple of small washers between it and the surface you are attaching it to. Slip the paper around the blade, fold it to align the corners, then just pull it up the blade. Perfect cuts every time. I’ve cut a couple hundred+ sheets with the same blade, so they definitely last! Loading was a bit odd, coming from years using the hard rubber ones. Unlock both ends. Insert one end with one hand... align the edges by holding the sandpaper between thumb and middle finger at both edges and sliding it in, skimming the sides of the tool. Test close until you can see you’re only clamping about an eighth inch. That leaves you plenty for the other end. Flip and repeat. Item arrived earlier than I expected. No problem with that. The next weekend I broke it out. All fall I’ve been scraping miles of trim in my old house. Drips boogers runs sags you name it. Blast the paint off with a scraper, then sand the remnants. This has a defined end edge that allows you to use it for the deep corners of the reveals around the door openings. It really works well to clean up those tight areas. I was put off by the size at first. Not now! The handle is super comfortable to grasp and control the tool. It really helps when you are using it endwise for those deep corners. I’ve been sanding windows and doors and casings and trim for 9 years using the hard rubber blocks. I so wish I had seen these way back. Sanding really sucks, but these make it so much easier. It will never be enjoyable, but at least this tool allows me to maximize my time and energy. As others have written here: Just buy one! I promise you will not regret it.

Fits the hand decent, though not perfect it’s a lot better than a piece of 2x... I’ll more than likely buy more...
