The ALLWAY Soft-Grip Heavy-Duty Manual Hand Sander is constructed of solid structural foam with a contoured, soft-grip handle. Features stainless steel clips that work easier, faster, and keep the strength longer than wing nuts for holding sandpaper. The patented, integral molded pad goes over all sides and acts like a bumper to protect walls from being marred by the tool. Compatible with drywall sanding sheets/screens, including ALLWAY's DWS Drywall Sanding Sheets and DSS Drywall Sanding Screens, or 1/2 sheet of sandpaper (sandpaper sheets sold separately). For the best results, sand with the grain of the surface and work through a sequence of grits, from coarse to very fine, skipping no more than 1 grit between each sanding step.

I returned it and it was on me because I didn’t pay close enough attention to the measurements. The palm handled version by this same company, however, was the perfect size and I use it a lot.

The sander would not hold down the sandpaper. It would constantly come loose. Tried to different kinds of sandpaper to ensure it wasn’t an issue with a specific kind. Would not recommend

The price is right. It feels really good in the hand. The metal clamps that hold the sandpaper are really stiff but that makes for a strong grip. Overall not bad, will do the job.**Update**After having used this for a longer period of time, I have to withdraw my good review. The clamps aren't quite as solid as I first thought and do not hold the sandpaper very well. Nothing worse than having your sandpaper come right off right in the middle of sanding, not once but three times. I do not recommend this item.

This was far and away one of the best home improvement purchases I've made over the last year. I've had lots of drywall repairs to make in a new condo, and most of them were pretty small patches. I rather naively had assumed that some sandpaper and elbow grease is all one needs to take care of those.Using a hand sander for the first time is life changing, and this one is made very well. The ability to get a smooth finish over a large area, or even a small one, by applying even pressure helps tremendously. The grip on the Allway one is soft enough that you won't wear out your hand. And it accepts standard size pieces of either sandpaper or sanding screens. I found it to be a particularly effective took with sanding screens, even for sanding down layers made with the heavy weight joint compound that don't sand as easily.Some complained about the clips being too tight, but I found them to be perfect. They hold the paper or screen in place tightly.Unless you're in the market for a hand sander with a drywall vacuum attachment (which is a pretty good idea if you do a lot of this messy work), this is definitely the hand sander for you.

Sturdy and good hand sander. They clips are really tight and hard to unlock. Probably will loosen with time and ware.

As other reviewers noted, it's oddly shaped. Just a bit too long and narrow for a half sheet. Why? The clips are stiff, but manageable when pushed out of the latch and not just brute-forced open. I like how there's a soft rubber tread on the bottom to give a little cushioning, which I feel helps sand surfaces that aren't (either by design or by age) perfectly flat. Still, because it needs a strange size sheet of sandpaper, I haven't used it much at all. I'd return it, but for the couple bucks I spent on it as it was an "add-on" item, it isn't worth it.

This works great for my sanding needs. I have a random orbit sander for bigger jobs, but sometimes just need something smaller on occasion. I was concerned when one person posted about having a difficult time opening the latches to replace the paper. As a petite woman, I was hesitant to purchase but found it to be a non issue. Opens just fine and have used with several projects so far. Nice comfortable grip on the handle makes sanding less painful on the wrist/ingers.

Why didn't I buy this years ago? As a breast cancer survivor, my left arm is not as strong as the right; however, this sander has a rubber handle and clamps for sandpaper. I am able to use long strokes to sand my table tops and window trip. Loving this sander.

This is a heavy, well-built hand sander. The clamp is too difficult for me to open without the use of screwdriver or similar tool. Even my husband found it too tight. Maybe it loosens up with time, but my husband asked me to give it to him and I complied. Too bad for me because it really looks like a great sander.
