Makes sanding process so easy
5 Stars
Makes sanding process so easy
We were quoted $4000 to paint our stairs which was too much for us. So I decided to do it myself. I guess most people would enjoy painting but hate the sanding to prep the items before painting. This product made sanding so easy. Get sandpaper sheets, cut it into quarters, fit it on this and sand. Easy pesy. The clips keeps sandpaper in place. The dust bag that it comes with is not that effective but I knew that when I bought it. But u can connect a vacuum to it instead of dust bag to suck all sanding dust. Cherry on top is that comes with a box to store the sander which is additional cost at box stores.
