Product Description
Product Description
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.
From the Manufacturer
This soft grip handle hand sander is great for drywall sanding. Structural foam with stainless wire clips. New integral molded pad. Uses on DWS drywall sheets or 1/2 sheet of sandpaper.

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.
Pros
Seems to be very well made with high quality parts.
Feels very comfortable in the hand
Con
The spring clips used to hold the paper down are extremely strong. So strong that two people could not open the clips by hand.. We had to use a pry bar to get the clips open to install a sheet of paper. This makes little sense as the paper does not experience that much stress in use.
I plan to keep the sander, and keep a dedicated prybar on the shelf next to it. But I will not buy a second one.

**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.
