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

very happy

$20+ to hold sand paper?? I can do that with a twob’four!! That’s what I thought until I tried it. Now I have two. I use them mostly for softening edges on hardwood furniture. Several things make this irreplaceable: - firmly holds on to your sandpaper - uses almost 100% of the quarter sheet strip (no wrapping most of it around a block) - heavy weight and long length improves sanding consistency—important for making those edges look and feel just right. - the firm foam-like bottom has just the right amount of softness for smooth sanding Unfortunately, we spend more time than we’d like sanding. It’s worth investing a little bit to make it more enjoyable and do a better job of it.

Between repetitive stress injuries from typing and good old inherited arthritis, sanding can be quite a pain. This thing is massive and my hand’s grip on it is an almost neutral position. Really helps relieve pain on larger sanding jobs.

This is my third Preppin Weapon sanding block. The first two are 10 years old and still going strong. I added a third so I dont have to switch sandpaper as often. They hold a quarter sheet of sandpaper, you can easily stack 3 pieces at the same time and they hold the paper tight.

Perfect

This is my second one. The first I bought many years ago at a woodworkers show and have used it a lot. Found this one on line and bought my second one. Very satisfied.

I use power tools for most sanding, but do hand sanding just before staining. I also hand sand between protective coats. This give a great smooth finish. The only problem is it is heavy. If the job is large you will really feel it. I didnt try to take it apart but I feel sure it could be lighter without compromising its function.

I have previously purchased this, one at a time over the years, in yellow, red, and blue colors. I wanted to get this green one to complete my set so I could have each color loaded with a different grit of sandpaper, starting with the coarsest on the red one and moving through the rainbow to blue for the finest. (It is now possible to buy a complete set of all 4 colors from one or two sources, but when I first bought one, only yellow was available; the manufacturer added the other colors over the years.) Apart from the convenience of being able to switch sandpaper grits without having to stop and change it on one sanding block, this is itself a great sanding block. Although its hollow plastic, it is well-made, with a solid feel, a true flat rubberized sole that is the right balance between give and hardness, and stainless-steel clips activated by levers that are easy to move yet grip the sandpaper strips securely. I especially like that I can stack several strips of sandpaper on the block and just tear off the bottom one when it gets too worn or torn, so I keep working and minimize my downtime. Combine this with a sandpaper-ripping jig to quickly and easily tear standard sandpaper sheets into strips sized for this block (four per sheet without waste), this comes as close as you can get to the perfect hand-sanding experience.

Gave to my dad for Fathers Day. He now uses it all the time for both woodworking and home improvement projects.

Ive bought four of these sanding blocks. The are just what I need. Theyll numerous sheets of wet/dry paper and this cotton buffing pads. Theyre easy to load, easy to hold and are weighted perfectly. I only wish they came in more than one size. Please keep making the Preppin Weapon.
