Hand Sander

One of the most difficult things to do -- if you have a spouse that over the years has put up with the mess you created in the house when doing stuff-- is doing significant repair stuff within that house that is fully furnished. Without covering everything within the room with layers of dust. Especially when the main reason your spouse hates when you do that stuff in the first place, is exactly that issue. The buildup of white construction dust everywhere. I recently had to do a plaster wall restoration and repair on a 100 plus year old plaster and lath wall which required the widening of about 20 foot of cracks to a V, securing the wall with plaster washers and injected adhesive and then filling and plastering over the repairs and large areas of the wall with old school patching plaster. Which in the end requires one to coat and sand a large area that took up about 65% of the wall's surface. Basically about 4 to 5 hours of sanding due to the hard surface of the plaster when it dried to smooth the surface and feather the edges so the repair blends perfectly into the rest of the wall. This tool allowed me to do that comfortably by hand and to my total surprise, do so pretty much dust free. And when I state "dust free" I am not saying that for the most part the dust from the work was noticeably reduced. I am actually saying that the work I did with this tool was genuinely about 98% dust free. This thing is as basic as it gets. But when hooked up to a good shop vac, it just point blank works. To the handyman and DIYer types that do things on a budget or do repairs in smaller areas, or painters and woodworkers that spend time doing a lot of flat surface sanding by hand, dollar for dollar this is one tool you need to get and use. It simply makes your job cleaner and healthier. Highly recommend.

This is an amazing tool! When combined with drywall sanding screen mesh sheets I was able to do a terrific job on two different drywall repair projects. You don't need a super powerful vacuum, either. I used it with a Milwaukee Packout vacuum that has a fleece bag installed and in combination with a Milwaukee Compact Debris Separator. Even with that set up, the vacuum was able to collect most of the drywall dust. I had tried a Craftsman vacuum powered sander many years ago, this tool is far better. I highly recommend that you give it a try.

This product does an amazing job keeping drywall dust down, no doubt about that. It loses a star because there were really strange issues with getting it to connect to my standard shop vac. There was no way to attach it to the hose. My hose attachments were the exact same size as the hole for this so I had to silicone tape it to the end to get it to work. Even with that. It did a great job. That being said, this isn’t an essential tool. This can be great for an area that can’t be closed/sealed off. But if you are working inside a room with a door, skip it. You’ll have to clean regardless. And while yes, the dust is significantly less with this, the attachment also makes sanding 10x more exhausting. It’s heavy and drags and requires you to sand in specific positions. Maybe it’s just me because I was working within a bathroom with multiple corners. But I stopped using this after the first sand and WOW was it easier and was less exhausting. Again, great product when you’re in an open space. But if you’re in an enclosed space, leave the shop vac running to try and reduce the dust in the air and save your energy for cleaning after

I was very happy and surprised how well this works. We had to move back into our house before all of the drywall work was complete so I was putting off finishing that work. This attachment was easy to use and totally delivered. It is lightweight and a good size. It can get a little unwieldy at times because of the hose, but I was able to adapt. As long as your vac's filter is clean, it is very powerful and actually sticks to the wall! A good value for what you get and it is virtually dustless. I managed to sand and paint three rooms in two days with just about no dust.

This is amazing. Our house had popcorn ceilings and orange peel texture as thick as a barn is wide. I hated it. I did a skim coat on our living room, dining room and kitchen walls and removed popcorn ceiling and patched without this because money was tight and what is a little clean up? I can tell you, I was sorely mistake. There was no "a little clean up," there was a clean out a blizzard level layer of this all over everything, in every room, covered, boxed up or not without this. The fine dust infiltrated every where. My first skim coat job sucked bc I had poor lighting and no clue what I was doing. It made my OCD self cringe every time I saw my bad sanding job that left marks or divets I missed. And there were a lot. Fast forward 2 years and dreading the idea of so much dust and cleaning and I caved and bought this as I started on my hall and bathroom. It makes it so much easier, because it is SO MUCH CLEANER, that as I have left over mud I am touching up the walls in the other rooms as I go. No need to move furniture out. No need to evacuate hubby or son with allergies and asthma. No need to go crazy. There is VERY minimal dust and it even cuts down on how much wiping off the walls needed before priming. If this item inspires my OCD but drywall and painting hating self to redo walls I just did (albeit terribly) two years ago, to prime and paint again to perfection this time it is worth every cent. I will never so much as patch a wall without this again! My only complaint is that I have no idea how the vent things function or what way they are supposed to twist. There really aren't any decent instructions for it either, but guess what? I DON'T CARE BC THIS IS STILL FANTASTIC AND SAVES YOUR SANITY! As a side note - I have Fibromyalgia. I hurt a lot and I tire easy. Renovating is so daunting for me because there is so much clean up involved. I feel like you have to work in large sections and go at it like marathon unless you want to clean it a million times and double your work. With this, I can work for 5 or 10 minutes even and take a break. The only clean up is rolling away my vac. It is a game changer.

Bought this for a basement remodel. It worked pretty well at keeping the dust down. It connected easily to my vacuum. It was easy to use. The only thing I didn’t like was the harsh texture it left on the wall. Ultimately, I had to go back over it with a regular sanding sponge to get a clean and smooth finish.

This is not a gimmick tool. It really works. It sucks up the dust as you sand your drywall or spackling.

So far I like it. It makes a huge difference in the amount of drywall dust. The thing I don't like is it does work very well in corners. A corner attachment would be nice. The only other issue is keep an eye on your hose. It disconnected from the vacuum once, and I didn't notice it until the dust started to pile up.

Llego antes de lo que esperaba, los materiales son de buena calidad.

Was hesitant buying but it's incredible how well this stops the dust. There was almost no dust in the room after sanding entire new bathroom and closet build. Wouldn't do drywalling again without it. Worth every penny!

Brilliant! Saved me a heap of time having to tap up drop sheets and whatever else to protect the home from dust. Need to work a bit harder vs using an electric sander, but NO CLEAN UP, no more than you need to regardless. Just keep the net sander clean and not build up with plaster dust that clumps together, and you'll be fine. This was great for a big job, would be even better for small jobs! Everyone hates cleaning! Used with a cheap shop vac held itself to the wall, regret not getting it sooner!

L'articolo è arrivato prima del previsto. E' utile nei lavori occasionali poichè fa il suo dovere discretamente evitando di spargere troppa polvere per casa. Va da se che non va bene per un uso professionale perchè alla lunga stanca la levigatura a mano. Purtroppo il foglio abrasivo in dotazione è durato pochissimo strappandosi in corrispondenza delle mollette di aggancio. Forse il costo è un pò eccessivo per la qualità in se ma per quello che ci devo fare non aveva senso acquistare una levigatrice elettrica molto più costosa.

It's great, does exactly as described, have been using it sanding down patches of filler and painted walls, plugged onto my Bosch vac it does make life a lot easier with all the dust being sucked up and not floating around the room. The supplied mesh pad will last a little while but rolls of sanding mesh can be bought easily enough. Have tried using sanding paper but figuring out where to picture holes in it can be cumbersome. All round though a great purchase.
