Sandflex Sanding Block - 3 Pack ((5.Units))

Awesome product. Better value than other rust erasers I've seen, as you get nearly twice the size for the same or less money. All three blocks are very effective at removing the red rust that eats at metal. They can even work off black rust (often referred to as the patina, as black rust doesn't eat at the metal like red and even helps to protect it from red rust) to some degree for those looking for a more polished finish. The course block made rather quick work of cleaning decades of neglect off a machete. For knives and blades in better condition, medium or fine grit is all that's needed. Sandpaper works too. But when it comes down to it, the price is probably about the same between paper and these rubberized blocks (at least that's the case at the time this was written), where these rubber grit blocks are much easier to work with when cleaning metal, largely because they're easier to hold and don't tear like paper.

Worked very well on tool tops. Recently I decided to clean up my hand saws. Some were fairly rusted. The accepted method is to soak the saws in a vinegar water solution to loosen the rust....a messy process at best. Remembering my Sandflex blocks, I decided to give them a try. Total home run! Work went quickly with no fuss or mess. A light spray of penetrating oil & a final rub with the medium block to finish off the saw did the trick.

I got these based off a recommendation from a co-worker who also does woodworking. I have a couple machines that the tables have not been cared for at the peak of attention and these were his #1 recommendation. I have used the coarse one so far and it just ate the surface rust off with no effort at all and was not so coarse that it left unsightly scouring marks. If you have cast iron tables on any type of machine, this is the product you need and want for maintaining them. Seriously.

I bought these based on others review comments. I was skeptical but thought I'd give them a tray. I've had a stain on one of the cast iron wings on my Jet table saw for several years ( a good friend decided to use the saw as a pop coaster!). I've tried numerous products with little success. The Sandflex pads arrived today I pulled out the medium grit and with some apprehension I started working on the stain. Much to my surprise the stain was completely removed within a minute of vigorous sanding. I finished with the fine pad and the top looks great. This stain was deep and so I'm pretty impressed that it came out. Highly recommend these pads!

These sanding blocks are amazing. I constantly fight corrosion on my expensive woodworking machines, living in the southern part of the US. As soon as there is a little bit of rust, I use the fine sanding pad. Rust is gone in no time, perfect shine, no deep scratches. I have used the coarse pad to work on my drill press table that had a little bit more corrosion. Same great result. Highly recommend this product, worth the money.

Saw a video that recommended this product for cleaning garden tools. I see what makes it unique--it's a solid block of grit. It was incredibly easy to use when removing years of sap from garden tools. Packaging describes numerous other uses. I can see why it's so effective! Truly an amazing little block, and this package has 3 different coarsenesses, which is perfect to determine which is best for your particular job!

I wasn't too impressed with these sanding blocks. It crumbles too much when sanding. I understand it's sanding and I'm going to get a mess, but the sponge breaks down way too fast.

This stuff is AWESOME! I used the medium and fine abrasive to remove staining/tarnish on an old brass tool. Had to be careful to go with the grain and all, but I am thrilled with the results. So excited, in fact, that I decided my table saw needed a little love as well. I can't wait to see what other neglected jobs this will help me tackle.Not quite sure what I will use the course bar on, but it's good to be prepared.
