ALLWAY UPS Heavy-Duty Drywall Pole Sander Head with Stainless Steel Clips

Good and strong product.

Does not work very well, the sander keeps flipping and doing more damage. The only way to prevent it is to have very light pressure but then the unit does not do much sanding.

I have been a professional drywall sander for 30 years now. Yes I do the job no one wants to do. These pole heads are good. They use to be great back in the days. They were made from better materials (fiberglass) and would last for years. Problem for Allway was that they weren't selling to many of them. Now they make them out of plastic that wears out quicker. There sales went up. The metal clips you have to take them off. Put the bend part of the clip which there is 2 of them in a bench vise. Take a pair of pliers and bend them just a tad more. The reason why the pole head fips is because of the operator, not the the tool. When pole sanding pay attention to your wrists turning. You turning your wrists causes the pole and sanding head to turn also. To much turning causes the pole head to flip. Also try to keep the end of the pole handle close to the center of the pole head.

works good and delivered on time as advertized

Update: I bumped this up to three stars because given enough time and energy it is workable. Still not anything close to good in my opinion. This is the fifth pole sander I’ve bought and the first on Amazon. The swivel head is very free and moves easily, which sounds good, but it’s not really. It’s only comparable to the first one I ever bought that had that kind of loose moving pivot point. Except my first one had two butterfly screws that would allow you to lock it in place, or at least you could tighten so it didn’t move that freely. So this will take you some time to master if you buy it. This is definetly a product you will have to use an old piece of sandpaper if you don’t use a pole sander often. With the rubber pad and loose pivot points, it will flip all over the place with new paper on there. I’ve been doing this since I was a kid with my dad in our old house. Not a professional, but I’m no amateur either. Be aware of what you are buying.Original review: This thing is awful. It is unusable. You can’t lock the head in any position so if your not holding the actual part that swivels it will just flip up when you apply any pressure at all. I honestly don’t know why amazon is selling this or who in their right mind gave it good reviews.

Yes this tool is heavy but looks to be good quality. Just know that it throws a bit of weight on the end of a pole.

Item is very sturdy, the pivot head moves around pretty freely.Has a rubber bottom not foam like some.Reason for the two stars. . . the sander arrived with a convex bottom. I press down on one corner and the other corner lifts of the table by a good 1/4"Currently trying to heat the plastic with a heat gun then clamping it down to a straight edge board to correct.

The media could not be loaded. This holder is good for the price gets the job done.
