Multipurpose Sanding Sticks
The backing cushions the abrasive to prevent gouging your work surface.
Sticks with rubber backing are more flexible and last longer than sticks with fiber backing.

Belt Sanding Sticks
Access tight spots. These sticks are spring-loaded to hold a small sanding belt taut, but you can easily rotate the belt when it becomes worn. They’re color coded by grit to keep you organized. All sticks accept belts of the same width regardless of grit.

Deburring Pads and Bricks
Debur in a flash—these pads and bricks quickly sand down burs on large flat surfaces and sharp edges. Also known as unitized blocks, they’re made by compressing multiple 3M Scotch-Brite pads together. This means they’re firm enough to nick off burs but cushioned enough to prevent gouges. The nylon mesh breaks down as you debur to expose fresh abrasive for a consistent finish. This material holds its shape, so you can cut these pads to fit specific workpieces. You can also form them into mounted points and bond them to tools. While quicker to use than deburring scrapers, they do not create as precise a cut.
Flexible pads work well on contoured surfaces. Fold them up to squeeze them into tight areas, such as the inside edges of holes.
Semi-rigid pads are good for tough burs and cleaning up very sharp edges.
