Comments about 3M 3M Handy Stikit Sanding Blocks:
I haven't seen these for years and was afraid that 3M no longer made them. I've treasured two of them for close to 20 years, scrounging any sort of abrasive roll that would fit. They are so comfortable to use and so versatile with the combination of the flat and curved surface. I've used them for everything from boat building to jewelry making. They are the only block sanders I use because nothing else is as comfortable and effective.
I am delighted to find them here at Jamestown Distributors especially with the full grit range of sanding rolls. The 3M rolls are much nicer than the various brands of 2 1/2 inch rolls that I've used in the past.
The thing that will put many people off is that the 3M Stikit Block costs more than the average sanding block. But is it ever worth it! An essential tool!
Comments about 3M 3M Handy Stikit Sanding Blocks:
This little sanding block is extremely handy. There is a round end and a flat end to match whatever shape you are sanding. If you are covering boards with paste paper or book cloth, you can chamfer the sharp edges in no time at all. It holds sandpaper that comes on an adhesive-backed roll. When the end-in-use is ready to be renewed, you just release the worn part and pull out another five inches, stick down the new part, and tear off the used piece. It doesn't take up much workbench space and does exactly what it is meant to do.
I have had two of these in use for a number of years, and now have treated myself to seven more, so I can have one set up with every available grit. I'm going to color code the labels so I can work through the rainbow when sanding wood to a fine finish.
