  • As advertised!

Highly durable, cheap, and does the job. I bought a second one for our spindle sander and I am actually not even done with the first.

  • Works great to clean up the sandpaper on your belt sander!
Color: 1 Piece
I grabbed this to help with keeping the sandpaper on my belt sander clear of excess dust that would otherwise impede optimal sanding conditions when refinishing my deck. Taking a quick break every so often to clean the paper with these sticks speeds up your sanding, and you end up with a higher quality end product. These bars are pretty durable as well, they don’t need to use a ton of material to clean up the paper nicely, so they last for a while. I bought two thinking I would need a ton but they worked so well I still have a healthy piece of the first one left at the end of the job. I’ve found that if you’re not using a stationary belt sander, if you fit it closer to the bottom edge of your roller, it glides back and forth much smoother than it would if you tried to press it against the center (might be common knowledge, but I don’t use a belt sander often so figured it might be useful for others!). Glad I bought this, it made the job a lot faster and I didn’t waste extra paper that still had a lot of life in it! ... show more

  • Works as it should and seem to last!
Color: 1 Piece
I’ve purchased two of these over the years so can’t comment as to whether this brand is better than another, although I believe they are all very similar. I still have about half of the block left that I bought a few years ago, so they last pretty long, depending on how often you use it, and removes the embedded wood dust pretty quickly as it should. ... show more

  • Not just for sand paper

Been using these for years for cleaning the rollers on planers as well as belts on sanders. Works great. Havent had to buy very often either - one goes a long way.

  • Wonderful
Color: 1 Piece
Bro, this is legit! Killed 3 bands in 40 mins trying to sand our deck before this. Used about 3 bands over the next 15 hours with this. Just use it frequently and dont let it get really gunked up. It'll clean the sandpaper but not remove the really caked on stuff. We used maybe 1/6 of this rubber stick with about 15 hours of sanding. It's a stupid good investment ... show more

Really did not believe that an oversized gum eraser from grade school would actually clean a sander belt and extend it's life. But surprise! It works exactly as advertised. I am totally amazed.
