SandNET Reusable Hand Sanding Block with Assorted Reusable Sandpaper Sheets (80, 120, 220 Grit)

I don’t know really anything about home improvement but have a few small jobs ahead with the purchase of a new home. I wasn’t sure what exact grit I would need but it comes with 2 coarse, 2 fine, and 1 extra fine that you just stick right onto the square. The sheet doesn’t move even when you’re sanding vigiourously. Great for novices and experts alike!

Bought this hoping to have a great sanding block that I could use again and again and I was wrong. It came bowed and with wrinkles which has effectively made sanding worse. I have quite a few diablo products and had hoped this was going to be good. I was wrong. I tried to use it once and not happy. If it would have come with no wrinkles and not bowed I’m sure this product would be great. But not in my case. I’m not a happy customer.

I’ve enjoyed this tool so far. Only have had it for a couple weeks. It’s held up longer than other sponge type sanders I've used.

When you have to do hand sanding, this Diablo sanding block with SandNet sheets is great. It beats sanding paper and foam sanding blocks with embedded grit. The Diablo block has a dense or firm side for hard or rough sanding and a cushioned or soft side for easy and controlled sanding. The block does not have embedded grit. Instead each side has a “hook and loop” material to firmly hold Diablo SandNet sheets. The SandNet sheets come in various grades from ultra fine to course. The sheets have the corresponding “hook and loop” fastening and attach firmly to the foam block. The SandNet sheets are reusable and can be removed, cleaned and reattached as needed multiple times. The SandNet sheets are easy to clean by shaking, vacuuming, or rinsing to remove any build up which reduces sanding efficiency. The block and sanding sheets can be used for wet or dry sanding. I tried the system on some drywall patches using wet sanding method. I was hoping that the “mild to moderate” sanding could be essentially dust free or minimal dust, and thus minimal clean up. I used the cushioned side and an ultra fine sanding sheet and the wet block. The sanding was smooth and quick with very little residual dust. However, I did rinse the sanding sheet as soon as there was significant build up. I was very impressed. The sanding system worked great and clean up was minimal

I picked up a set of full-size (9x11) sheets of Diablo SandNET sandpaper for use in the school shop I work at and was really impressed by their longevity and ease of cleaning for my students. Because of that, I picked up this sand block for use at home doing drywall work for painting and some minor woodworking I do at home. I am super happy I did. I knew I would like how the sandpaper doesn't clog and wear as easily, but I also like the block that came with it. The sheets are the perfect size for drywall work or hand sanding and with the hook and loop style attaching they go on and stay on while working. This set up will replace my foam blocks I typically buy and use for sanding patches before painting and will for sure be used instead of my traditional block for sanding wood. I know this are more expensive than your normal sand paper and sanding set up, but I think it is definitely worth it!

Block & SandNet Sheets perform very well. Hook Lock Backing is easy to use- holds securely and removes quickly. On several DIY projects, drywall hole repair, primed trim paint prep, went very well. Dense foam side made flat sanding quick and easy, plus rinse clean. Cushioned side made getting the curves of trim easy and saved fingers from pushing on sandpaper. Seems like the sheets will last long without grit detaching or requiring careful storage protecting typical sandpaper from moisture, making Diablo’s SandNet sheets a cost effective handy sanding solution, especially for DIY use. Adding to the already economical cost. Highly satisfied.

I'll first talk about the sanding block, because in my mind it is the weaker of the two products. It isn't BAD necessarily, but I just prefer a little more heft in a sanding block so I don't have to use as much muscle when sanding. I do like the dual-side nature of it, though, and the soft foam side has a lot of advantages sanding over curved surfaces. The hook n loop on the block didn't seem to grab on quite as well, but I do like the ability to quickly change sheets, and it held on well enough to get the job done. The sandpaper is GREAT. I believe Diablo makes this for orbital sanders, too, and that would be amazing to hook up to a dust collector. It would get almost all the dust for once! In this form factor, the net is still a great feature to make getting dust off of the sandpaper super easy. I was only sanding wood, so I didn't have to deal with it much, but unclogging paint or something would be so much easier with this sandpaper. The sheets are a perfect fit for the sanding block, too. The other thing I didn't like about the sanding block was its packaging. It required a pair of scissors to open. Once you cut it open a bit, the plastic was super easy to peel away from the paper back, but I could not find a way to open it easier. I always appreciate a company that makes opening their product simple and tool free.

Abrasive Sanding Sheets made for Industrial Applications are not made from paper like their Consumer Grade counterparts. It is nice to see Diablo stepping up with these nylon screen based sheets. They last a lot longer and are much easier to clean. The front is coated with Premium Ceramic Abrasive and the back is hook-and-loop. The hook-and-loop backing is intended for use with this Diablo Reusable Sanding Block. To clean or change sheets just pull the sheet off, rinse it in a sink, shake it off, or vacuum/blow the clog material away. The sanding block has a denser foam side for flat sanding and a soft foam side for contour sanding. This is much more comfortable and easier to use than the wood or neoprene sanding blocks we used in school with quarter sheets of paper sandpaper. These removable hook-and-loop sanding sheets get a lot more mileage per sheet than a sanding sponge. Awesome tool. 5 Stars.

The Diablo Reusable Hand Sanding Block with Assorted SandNET Faster Reusuable sheets can be used on many different surfaces (hardwood, softwood, pvc, laminate, epoxies, and others). The block has a soft side which helps work on curved surfaces and a hard side that allows you to sand flat surfaces. The block is the perfect size for your hand and it is easy gripping. It helps eliminate sore wrists and fingers. A "must have" for any sanding job.

I am found of the disposable foam sanding blocks, they are flexible, you can sand on all four sides, but alas they are short lived. The Diablo instead offers a sanding block with reusable sanding sheets. The sanding block consist to two foam pads, one a high density which is used for aggressive sanding while the low-density pad works best for contour and detail work. Included with the kit are 2 – 80 grit coarse sheets, 2 – 12 grit fine sheets and 1 – 220 grit ultra-fine. To use simply attach the desired grit to ether side of the block. The sheet is securely held in place with a hook lock system. When done, lift the sheet and clean it for reuse later. The sheets can be cleaned with compressed air or water. The block can be use for either dry or wet sanding across wood, metal, and plastic, making it very versatile. The block measures only 2.75” x 5”, thus making it easy to hold and work with. I used this block to smooth out an opening on a PVC board. I was able to quickly get a smooth surface, and by just using the sheet inside the opening I was able to an even better finish on the inside. This now replaces my metal sanding block which tended to damage soft woods.
