Wow! A tiny little box with a ton of little 2” disks and a soft foam velcro pad on a 1/4” shaft. I got it this morning and was anxious to try it out on my Manzanita Burl Bowl I hade carved yesterday! Timing was perfect. The grinding cup I had used as a final pass had left some pretty heavy scratches in that bowl which is nearly 3 inches deep. This material is extremely hard and famous for being hard to sand. I figured I needed something to get in there on those small radio and clean it up, but I was dreading doing it by hand. I have a DeWalt cordless dye grinder with a quarter inch truck. I attach the foam back manual pad to it and stuck on a 40 grit disc. It was amazing. For a first try, I kept my RPMs a little too high, but luckily I did not melt the Velcro. I put a fresh disc on and used lower RPM and lighter pressure and it worked far better. This is the trick I think, light pressure low RPM. I guess I was turning around 400 RPM. That all cleaned up incredibly well! So quick and easy. I went from 4280 to 122 242 600 and finished with 1000 grit. It is virtually polished! A quick pass with some tongue oil and see the photos for what I got! The whole thing was about 40 minutes of sanding with my dry grinder. Amazing. I might have to order another kit just so I have a back up in case I burn it out or breaks. Why did I wait so long?

I’m just getting into wood bowl turning, and a 2” sanding disk arrangement for my drill appeared to be a necessity to produce a good finish. This set seemed to be complete and got good reviews, and now I know why. I have used all the grits provided and now have about 10 hours or so of time using this tool. It performs very well and is proving to be very durable. It also yields terrific results. I’d highly recommend this product.

The item matched the description and did the job I needed but giving 4 stars because of the pack box. The sanding disks are not marked nor grouped so I couldn't tell which is which.

Great in sandingodd surfaces

This product may be fine for the auto market, but I would not recommend the product for sanding turned bowls. I attempted to sand the outside and inside of a turned bowl, and the pad was so stiff it would not bend around the curves in the bowl. To sand the curve, you had to apply more pressure than you should to get it to sand properly. The diameter of the sanding rounds is just bit smaller than the pad. This means that when you do try to follow the curves of a bowl, the plastic edge of the pad leaves marks on your wood. I tried shaving a bit off the edge of the pad, to make it sand without gouging, so I guess I own the product. Finally, obviously the sanding rounds are punched out of a large piece, so the grit size only shows on one (or none) of the rounds. How are you supposed to know what grit you are using? I do believe it would work for my purpose if the support pads were much softer.
