Rolson 24435 Mini Sanding Block - Pack of 1

This looks like it will last a long time (made well) and is easy to use. It even came with a sheet of sandpaper attached, just like it shows in the product image.I will be buying an 11.5cm wide roll of higher grit sandpaper here on Amazon, which should fit this block perfectly. So it will be handy to just cut strips off, as and when I need them, instead of working with individual sheets of sandpaper (which probably won't fit this block well unless you cut some off (wastage!).For £5, it's a good tool to have in your box.

There is always something to sand, fix, smooth or repair in my house. I was sick of using paper hand held and forever wrapping sand paper around all sorts of inanimate objects to save my knuckles so picked one of these up.The Good* The plastic block feels robust, I've used it on a couple of small jobs and have had no issues thus far with build quality.* It's simple. Very simple to operate so to speak, you undo the wing nut, separate the two pieces of plastic, wrap your paper around the block then reattach the top and screw the wing nut back on.* It comes with a piece of sandpaper which is a bonus but that won't last you long.* Using the block is so much easier than freehand, it allows you to exert pressure without fear of skinning your fingers to the bone and focus on the job at hand.The could be better* The wing nut is a pain sometimes because of the deep recess it's in, if you've skinny fingers youll be fine, if you've fat sausage like fingers such as my own, it can be a jam.* Whilst the block is OK to hold a little bit of rubber around the top block would make it so much more comfortable, after a while sanding you can feel a good degree of hand fatigue.Overall I would recommend this little block, as said I have tried various other options, and even had a couple of actual blocks that wrapped around but with out a securing nut.It's much better than just using sand paper with nothing and a good bit better than the other blocks I have tried. It isn't perfect for the price, durability and simplicity it is very good value.Four Stars.

Nice little item, yes it could be better but at the price no-one should complain. In fact it's worth getting several so you can have one handy for each different grit you need to use and that's just what I shall do. The size may not be big enough for some, but it's perfect for the job I'm doing, where a bigger block just won't fit.As for the difficulty unscrewing the wing nut if you have big fingers, well surely we all have a pair of pliers ? Or the wing nut can be replaced with an ordinary nut, then you can use a nut spinner, which is even easier. Simples.Another nice thing is that the size you need to cut your paper to is exactly a quarter of a standard sheet. Fold it twice, you don't even need to measure, and after cutting you have four mini-sheets for the block. This is the kind of forethought and attention to detail that is so rare in this world of nothing fitting anything else. Well done, Rolson.

Compact. Easy to hold and change the paper. Great for small projects.

Handy little thing

Very handy item, easy to hold

Love the way the Lenght of the block is the exact width as a roll of sandpaper. Little wastage. It's not as big as the trowel type sander but it's alonger than a cork sanding block but thinner, It has a point on one size a flat on the other for corners and edges. Sand paper ends tuck under top block and tightened with wing nut, Price and quality is great
