Beats a piece of sandpaper ;)

Ever have the head of your well-used-taken off-the-wall-rack pool cue ricochette off the que ball at your favorite pay-to-play table as you tried for a good break? And with the whole saloon (ok,barroom) watching??

Unless the owner is a pool afficienado him/her self, cues, and in particular the tips, receive zero maintenance. The owner just wants the revenue....

Enter the Cuetec Bowtie Tool...

Nice, solid, shiney, and weighty, aluminum, a couple of turns of the 'Shaper' end will perform a reverse valve job on the tip. Add a few turns of the 'Scruff' end and chalk sticks like a guy to his new love at closing time.

And each end is engraved labeled so you know which is which even seen through those beer goggles...

An occasional player and not owning a custom cue myself, I really have carried a small piece of course-grit sandpaper on those occasions when I know I will be playing....

No more. My game has improved; fewer snickers from the Peanut Gallery. So, bottom line  I would recommend the Cuetec; works as advertised, operates with precision, and, well, just looks too kewl :)

It really rates five (5) full stars were it somehow smaller; belongs in a pool case and not the pocket of your leathers or jeans - yet it would lose its' functionality.

Also, don't loan it out --- you might not get it back!!

I use this as a working on miniatures where previously I sanded laboriously in tight spaces. It does a great job at reaching the tough to reach spaces. The sandpaper that comes with it however last for about 5 minutes of sanding, Buy adhesive sandpaper and cut your own and the product gets a five star.

I live in Hawaii and I bought these to protect my seats from sand which manages to find its way deep in the cracks of my seats. These are way easier to clean and vacuum and it keeps my car from turning into a sandy mess. It's obviously not gonna look as nice as customized seat covers for your car, but these work well for a small fraction of the cost. I found it very difficult to install (took about two hours) especially in the back seat because my bench can't be removed, only lifted. i used a log wire to help loop the straps through so they could be attached. It still works, it just took some extra effort to be put in. I suggest watching the videos before installing, but depending on your car you might have to get a little creative with it. Overall I think the value is great and it really protects my seat.

would be 4 or maybe 5 stars!! just a disclaimer. but i had to give it 3 because the squeegee that was supposed to be inside (and the microfiber cloth) were both missing so i had to use some cloth from one of my glasses' cases to clean my screen (figured it was the same material as the microfiber cloth) and i just pushed out bubbles with the edges of some index cards i had. BUT (again haha) it works fine. the texture is a little different, almost a rubbery feel if you press your nails into it, but smooth enough when you're just running your fingers over the screen. the edges stay down (i did tape the sides down while drying like some people suggested) which was one of my bigger concerns, esp because it's the s7 edge.if you want a completely smooth screen though maybe get something else-i think the rubbery feeling isn't just a feeling; you can make permanent depressions into the screen protector. i don't mind the shallow grooves running across my screen but i know some people do. but it does it's job so i'd still recommend

This helps cut down on sanding costs. I found out that old tennis shoes work as well. Low cost makes this competitive and doesn't smell as bad.

This is my first sander, I write as a novice DIYer. I bought this because I wanted to refinish some wood furniture - dining room table/chairs, dresser, end table - & it made more sense to invest in a sander rather than rent one from home depot (25/full day). I also bought a large pkg of sandpaper from Amazon. Was more cost effective.

So far, so good! I've made it thru the table and chairs with no issues.

PROS: I run the sander typically for 1.5-2 hrs at a time. No overheating.

The size is perfect for small jobs. It was smaller and lighter than I expected, but that works to my advantage because I don't have a lot of large surfaces, so any bigger and it'd be excessive.

CONS: I've read that the bag attachment is supposed to catch the dust? That's not the case. There is plenty of dust - I bought a face mask and sand outside. I wasn't expecting the experience to be mess free so this doesn't bother me.

I am bummed the electric chord isn't longer. I have to have an extension chord in order to operate comfortably.

Because it's light, I do have to press down a fair amount after I've used the sandpaper for awhile (~8 minutes, 100 grit). Depending on my posture, this can get tiring.

Overall, a very positive experience! It's cheap enough that if I decide there are features I'd like to have later, I can upgrade without losing out on what I spent on this. Definitely splurge on a large pkg of sandpaper! Way more cost effective.

Does the job!

I used on sanding wood and its very effective.

Will update in 1 or 2 months..

works well / as advertised ... I think that I still prefer to wet sand by hand - the sew-saw motion is more tiring for me than just traditional wet sanding by hand, but - it works great when all that's needed is a very quick surface touch-up

owned for 2+ years, still holding up, used a thick grit on both sanding wheel and roll. held up to sanding over an inch off ( tested for science of course). hope to see many more years with it.

I think sandpaper is smoother than these sheets.  Am going to try to run them through the wash a few more times, but don't have high hopes we will be able to use them.

I used a damp paper towel (as I didn't have a cloth handy) to apply to my off-white (and very grungy) wallet, and the dirt stains from several years' use came off almost immediately. Nice to have a presentable looking wallet again! Bonus:  the saddle soap smells really pleasant. (Orange oil, maybe?) I'm looking forward to trying this out on my shoes and other small leather products.

We have not punched the actual holes in the sand paper so we don't use it for the dust collection. We have been using it pretty heavily the last few months to sand down some pallet wood and has done great. we have recently had to order a new foam part for it. my husband worked it too hard and the foam part started to fall off. Either way the part we ordered was not too expensive and easy to put on. I am overall happy with the purchase.

This is a pretty nice sander in the lower-end price category.  It's fairly quite for a sander, and works better for me than the battery-operated mouse sander.  I use it to smooth down reclaimed wood, and it makes a really nice surface.  I understand why it's called a finish sander, because it's much better for making a smooth and pretty surface than for stripping paint etc.  However, with the larger grit sandpaper it can definitely remove paint from wood, just takes more time than an aggressive belt sander.  I don't have any problems with the dust collector coming off/filling too quickly/being a nuisance, and there is a large selection of sandpaper to fit this model.

Handy solution for a problem window in my kitchen door. It looks out onto a walkway in my apt. building, and neighbors were likely to spy me at night in my undies, or worse. I'm a little curtain-challenged, so this seemed like the way to go Follow the directions and application is easy. Be sure to trim a little shy, so that the film doesn't touch the very edge of the window and it lays down smooth. My package had a little squeegee included. I used that and then finished with a good rub with a paper towel. A little tough to get the clear plastic film separated from the etched film, but other than that, smooth sailing.

I hate sanding, so anything that makes the job easier is for me.  Over the years, I've made and purchased many sanding blocks and pads.  I like the convenience of using a quarter sheet of standard sandpaper and the ease of changing paper, as well as the design that firmly locks the paper firmly in place. This is the best sanding block I've ever used, and well worth the price.
