A hand-held, manually-operated, sanding tool for use with a replaceable sheet-like abrasive material, such as sandpaper, includes a base member and clamping mechanisms pivotally connected with opposed ends of the base member. The clamping mechanisms include tensioning members arranged to slidably engage angled contact surfaces provided on the ends of the base member opposite the clamping mechanisms to tighten the sheet-like abrasive material as it is installed on the tool.
A hand-held, manually-operated sanding tool including a base member, a clamping mechanism, a handle and a mounting assembly. The clamping mechanism is adapted to secure a sheet-like abrasive material to the base member. The handle includes a neck and a grip. The mounting assembly rotatably mounts the handle to the base member such that the neck extends from a top surface thereof and the handle is rotatable relative to the base member about an axis defined by the neck.
A drywall sander includes a replaceable sanding pad having a layer of resilient material, and an abrasive surface. The sanding pad includes one or more edge portions that project beyond the edges of a sander head. The edges of the sanding pad can be deformed during use when the sander is used in a corner or the like to thereby prevent scuffing or other damage to adjacent orthogonal surfaces.
