Ive never used a sanding sponge. Where I would need a sponge I will always buy a pack of wet dry sand paper and try to work the sand paper with my hand. My hand always slips, so this is frustrating and tedious. Having a little something to hold onto and conform to any imperfections of out of flatness in the work piece helps alot and Im convinced the paper lasts longer since the sponge gives it something extra to avoid tearing. This lasts longer than a piece of sand paper and makes the sanding process much faster but are still consumables. Im not fully converted over to Sanding sponges, just yet, but theyre definitely a luxury over trying to work a piece of sand paper.

As someone who's learning how to do guitar repairs, these are invaluable! Not only are they flat enough to use to sand down the bottom of guitar nuts and saddles, I've already done some preliminary work on sharp fret dressing. While I need a real file for fret crowning, I wouldn't hesitate to use these for sanding down wood.The color coding is a really nice touch, but even that aside they're each clearly labeled with big numbers that even my legally blind eyes can make out easily.I couldn't find any official CAMI or FEPA ratings for grits, but just based on how they feel, and because I'm not using them for ultra fine detail work (again, just practicing my luthier skills on a beater guitar restoration and setup), I'm confident enough in the numbers provided.Like, if you expressly need scientifically guaranteed grit ratings, maybe spend a few dollars more, but for hobby work or learning a new craft these sponges ar excellnt, very easy to work with so far!

I generally dislike hand sanding and use a random orbit sander whenever I can. I had the opportunity to use these blocks the other day building some rough storage shelves. I needed to knock the front edges off the shelves and found the 120 grit was perfect for the job. It was rigid enough to soften the edges of the shelves, and I didn't have to fuss around manhandling the orbital sander.There are some pluses to using these foam blocks. They are somewhat flexible and can conform to large radii. They are easy to grip for sanding flat surfaces. I did not try washing them but found they can be easily cleaned with a crepe block. And finally, I liked the fact that they are color coded and have the grit stamped on one end.As far as negatives, they are not flexible enough for tight internal contours and the set could have used an additional 220 grit. At a $1.50 per sponge, though, they are reasonable enough to keep on hand. I, for one, will add them to my sandpaper collection.

This 6-Pack Of Sanding Sponges are okay quality.The first thing I did notice is that they are a lot thinner than most sanding sponges I have used in the past which makes it a little harder to get a decent grip on them long term, but for short, quick jobs these are good.The actual sanding "paper" is also pretty thin although it did work pretty well when I put it to the test.I sand a lot of furniture, board rounds, leaners, tumblers, wood cut outs, pens, epoxy, you name it, it gets sanded! My most common grit to use is 80, 120 & 220 so this was a no brainer.When working with epoxy I do a wet-sanding job to eliminate a lot of the dust, this is where the sponge part comes in super handy. The fact that I can wash & reuse these is perfect!Dried relatively quick.Color coded & large printed numbers are great added touch.I did notice that they are starting to break down after only a few sanding jobs so overall I don't think these will be too durable but do get the job done.Overall for the price of $3.68 (at time of posting this 05/19/25) you really can't go wrong, that's one heck of a value for so many!

I did not know that there was a such thing as sanding sponges. I have always used a rubber block that you cut a strip of sandpaper and put into the block. I have attached a picture to show the block I have used for years. This method works fine but it’s a bit of a pain to have to cut the sandpaper into a strip and install it on the block and then the sandpaper surface loads up quickly with whatever you are sanding, and you must install a new piece of sandpaper.While watching a recent drywall repair, I saw the contractor get a sanding sponge out to sand after taping the drywall. I was very surprised at how well this worked and noted that the sponge can be washed after use thus allowing multiple uses instead of throwing out the used sandpaper.I found these sanding sponges on Amazon and felt they were offered at such a low price that they were worth ordering just to try them out. Now that I have them and have used them, I am happy with them for my use. The only thing I will do differently in the future is look for a larger size sponge.I think you will like this concept and recommend you try it out.

I have not had good luck with sanding sponges in the past but decided to give these a try as I need some for a project I am working on. First I have to say that I like they have the grit color/numerical coded on the end of the sponge where it shouldn't wear off after the first use. So far they are holding well and sand just about anything that I have put them to. They are holding up well, not crumbling apart or losing their ability to sand and after using I am able to dunk them in a bucket of clean water to rinse them off and put them on the rack to dry overnight.What I especially like is that in some of the harder to sand areas, these have been perfect for getting in there and doing the job. I am refinishing a dry sink that is close to 60 years old and taking it apart isn't possible in some areas, like the upper sink portion. Trying to sand those inner corners had been a pain until these arrived. They made short work of those areas.
