I own several apartments and thought this might help speed up doing finish work in tight corners. Wrong! It only slowed things down. I tried everything I could think of including tacking the pieces together to keep them from slipping apart. No amount of tightening of the sandpaper will allow more than a few minutes of sanding before the foam works its way out. Definitely not worth the trouble.

First of all, I must commend the inventor of this product, Dane Charles, for attempting to come up with a 'better mousetrap.' I've been a woodworker for many years and I appreciate any gadget that might save some time as I work in the shop. However, this one doesn't fit the bill. The foam pieces provided use the sandpaper itself to hold them in place. Due to the vibration of the sander, the foam very quickly and easily slips out. I tried it on two different palm sanders and ran into the same problem. Tightening the sandpaper works for about a minute or two (of regular sanding) and then the foam pieces begin to slip out again. For me, it became completely useless. Though I appreciate the effort, save your money - it was an utter waste for me.

EZ Sand PRo works great. First you should understand how to use it. Since it uses standard sanding paper, the paper as it's used loosens up, so it's a no brainer that the sand paper will need to be tightened up once or twice until the sand paper is used up.
To the Ann Arbor. MI user, try and think first. Remember, power tools are dangerous in the wrong hands. If you can't figure this little thing out, I'm sure you won't be ordering anything plans from Norm Abrams of The New Yankee Workshop or any boat building.
We have used this product for boat building finishes, and it works fine. It's not moron proof.
