3M Drywall Finishing & Pole Sanding Essentials

Not made well

Very poor function. Plastic clips do not hold the sand paper securely enough. Should be better spring style clamp with metal edge. The current head allows the paper to slip out too easily.

Good, but left black marks

It made sanding a floor really easy. But it left a black line when the base contacted the floor, which I realized after one swipe and then had to sand the black marks by hand (arghh). I ended up just putting a cloth around the bottom and then putting the sandpaper on top, which actually worked pretty well since the cloth gathered some of the dust. Overall, it saved us from some back ache. We used it for light sanding on new unfinished wood flooring. We wanted a light sand before we finished i...

Wall sand paper attachment.

Say to use, however the locking mechanism to sandpaper in place is too wimpy. Require a bit more pressure than other designs.

Sanding

Easy to ise

Not recommended

The clamp wouldn't hold the sandpaper in place. Poor quality.

Good enough

Convenient use but sandpaper for this model was a bit short and unlatched itself a couple of times.

Pole sander

Great product easy to use!

Plastic

Claps are plastic , got one day of sanding and they broke ok for the price , but I don’t want to buy more than one a day

Unusable product

I can't tell you how frustrating this is to use. I wound up hand sanding the wood floor and walls at my off grid camp with folded pieces of sand paper because this was completely unusable. The clamps have very little tension and they come off in as little as 3 seconds. Applying a lot of downward force on the sander so the paper has more friction fit against the foam pad puts less force when you are moving the sander on the clamps, and sometimes you can get through a few minutes, but that is rare...

Terrible for ceilings

Two flimsy and all over the place. Good luck trying to do a back-and-forth sanding motion on the ceilings. It flips around is not sturdy. I do not recommend. I will hand sand over using this. Waste of money and most importantly, the wasted effort of trying to use it.
