KeystoneFlat File Sanding Stick With Replaceable Abrasive Strips For Sanding Shaped Objects on Wood and Some Metal. Ideal For Woodworking, Furniture, Restoration, Cabinets, or Automotive Use

Decorative metal work involves many tasks for files, from coarse shaping through the most delicate refinements to a workpiece. Steel files, in a range of shapes, sizes, and cuts, have been standard members of the toolboxes, from starting student to master artisan. There's nothing like just the right file for the job.But the best files are expensive. (Not the same thing, but ask your hairdresser what s/he paid for scissors.) Sets of good files are more expensive. This tool certainly does not replace such gems, but offers affordable versatility across a good part of the range. Although the tool body is plastic, not steel, the real tool is its abrasive surface. Unlike shaped and hardened file surface, this abrasive is affordable sandpaper or wet-or-dry, in grits from 100 (or coarser) to 2000 (or much finer). True, the working surface doesn't last like hardened steel, but it's replaceable. And you can replace it with any grit you want, while your #2 cut file will be #2 forever - or until it dulls.If you're a master machinist, you snorted and walked off long since. But I'm a handyman/hobbyist with bounded budget. For me, the versatility of replacing the cutting surface with anything you want holds huge appeal, and helps me save up for the next real file that I think will use what that special moment in a special project warrants the effort.-- wiredweird

The best sander I ever had,sharp,both sides and go in small places will definitely purchase again.

This is one of many sanding tools I keep handy as a wood carver, and is especially good for needing a flat sanding surface in tight crevices. Easy to use, easy to change strips, inexpensive, useful value for the money.

So handy for epoxy resin work and pre-treat wood. I use it for first sanding after resin pour and some prep of wood before.It’s a little trickier to get the paper taught. But that is of little consequence.

Great tool at a great price! I ordered one and liked it so much that I ordered two more, to have an easy choice of rough, medium and fine grits ready when I need them. They come with extra sandpaper strips, but you can cut your own and use any grade sandpaper.

Great for the miniaturist and have been using this since the day it arrived.

Had a tight sanding job to do. The sand paper stays clipped at the base but slides off at the top so have to keep putting back in place. I made it work for what I needed but product design needs a little improvement.

Pretty good.
