HS85180 Hand Sander with Sponge Handle, Perfect for 9 x 3.6 inch Sandpaper

I had a 3M hand sander and every time I started sanding one end of the paper would slip out. I am stripping 30 year old wall paper covered with 3 layers of paint and the walls under this mess have to be skim coated and I have a lot of edges around trim and doors. Constantly having to stop sanding and reattach the end of the paper was making me a very mean person, not to mention after the paper would slip the sander would gouge the wall. Before I had a nervous breakdown I ordered this hand sander. I hear angels singing! What a difference. Reasonably priced and holds the sandpaper sheets tight. I definitely recommend this sander. I'm ordering a second sander for my paint box so I will have one and a backup although I don't see this sander failing.

Needed a flat level sander for a home project using 9" x 3.5" sandpaper. This sander has strong clamps and a nice feeling handle and sands level and is easy to use.

works great !! it holds the paper perfect, the only thing I would like, personally, would be the handle a little bit wider, that is the why I gave 4 stars, I have been working with wood for so many years and honestly this product is the best I have ever work with.

I like the texture and density of the foam on the sanding pad. And love the texture and density of the foam on the handle. The little levers used to attach the sandpaper have the perfect amount of spring tension and are easily adjustable.

every time I use this sander I forget that it is not a $300 tool it is so good and sturdy in the hand and I feel like I could sand all day with it

It’s a well made product and it works as it should. I recommend it. The only disappointment is Amazon’s delivery time. I have a Prime account, yet it took them 5 days to ship it from Arizona to NC. I could’ve rode a bus to AZ, picked it up and returned home faster than that. Prime has become a joke. 5 years ago Bezos was experimenting with same-day delivery via drone, but now apparently he doesn’t care how long it takes. Regardless of what it is, all you get is the same flimsy bs excuse about why they can’t deliver it any faster. They can, they just don’t care anymore. I doubt I’ll renew my Prime, why bother? It’s become a waste of money.

I bought 6 of these for kids to use. Our organization (Sleep In Heavenly Peace), builds bunk beds from raw lumber, then deliver them to kids that don't have one. We have 'build' days where we set up with community members, groups, organizations, etc and build beds. We like family's to come and sometimes the kids don't feel comfortable with our power tools. Enter the hand sanding pads. From other reviews I was hesitant regarding the quality, specifically the glue spillage on the pad. I did not experience this. There was some squeeze out on the sides but it was minimal and did not affect the sanding quality. They are rugged plastic construction with soft foam handles. I was very impressed with the metal clips/springs that hold the sandpaper secure. The sandpaper does not move or let go. Full size sandpaper sheet cut in thirds fits perfectly. Highly recommend.

I'm a very vigorous sander, and I sand A LOT of material, and seriously, you would think it would be easy to make one of these that work but I've tried dozens and this one is by far my favorite, nothing even close to this at home depot or lowes, it really REALLY holds the paper and it is really REALLY easy and fast to swap in/out paper, this beast is freaking light years ahead of all the competition. BUY THIS PRODUCT. (they did not pay or compensate me for this real, honest review)
