2 inch by 2 inch Micro-Mesh Soft Touch Sanding Pads w/Galvanized Steel Dispenser - for Pen & Bottle Stopper Turning, Cycle Sanding Acrylic Materials (9 Micro Mesh Pads)

I just wanted to take the time to write this review because this product and company are actually deserving of real, legitimate praise! First off, I got these sanding pads to use for my guitar restoration work, specifically for sanding and polishing the frets. All the other nice sanding/polishing pads are either ludicrous expensive or complete garbage. When I came across these, I said to myself - “man, I sure hope these are for real.” Boy was I right! They’re the perfect size, thickness, flexibility, and seem super durable for my application. The holder is cool, but slightly gimmicky, as I found myself just laying them on my table in a rotation order. But, nonetheless, the holder is still a nice touch and holds them nicely. And it can be mounted anywhere, so I put it on the wall to reduce clutter on my workbench. I just gave them a small trial run as I had to re-wire one of my pickup grounds, and had to take the strings off to do so. I used the top 4 grits, and did the 3 frets I have pictured in less than 5 mins. Granted I was using my fret guard instead of tape to save time, but still I got a smoking slick shine with very little effort. The fret guard even got shiny! That’s never really happened, lol. I did my whole fretboard in about 20-30 mins! These little pads are the real deal! I sure hope my fellow diy, self made and professional luthiers come across this review and decide to give these a shot. I’m completely blown away at the quality and results! Now for the other part of my review, which is what drew me to write this. Peachtree Woodworking Supply Inc. is one of the last of its kind these days, in a giant ocean of companies, retailers, and distributors who are all just trying to push their product as fast as they can. This is not the case with Peachtree. They are ambassadors of the long lost and forgotten key element of business. Customer Service!!! I almost forgot what it felt like to be treated like a valued customer. Not only that but they actually cared about my experience. So, when I received this order from Amazon, there was a mishap in the packing of the items, as I had only received the galvanized holder, which I could have cared less about. Initially I thought, “great, now I’m going to have to return this and do it all over”, because most of the time on partial shipments, you are forced to return what you did receive, have it credited, then you might go and re-order whatever it was you wanted, or you might be over it. Definitely one of the many short-falls in the world of Amazon shipping mishaps. But then I saw a nice, well drawn, easy to understand instruction sheet from the manufacturer. And on that sheet was their customer service number and something along the lines of “please call us if you have any issues with your order”. I gave them a call, and within minutes they had access to my Amazon order, and didn’t even hesitate to do what it took to correct this mishap. Never did I feel as I had to prove myself or defend my case. It was just no questions asked, we apologize for the inconvenience, and we’ll get these out to you right away....for a moment I thought I was dreaming, then I remembered - oh ya! I was a customer receiving customer service!!! A few emails exchanged, and a few days later, I had my sanding pads, with no fiery hoops to jump through. I don’t do much woodwork, outside of my guitar work. But I will say this, I’m definitely going to remember Peachtree Woodworking for the rest of my life. And guess what, whenever I do come across the need for a specific woodworking tool, I’m not going to mindlessly look through the endless list on Amazon, trying to decipher which reviews are real and which are fake, and overpaying for whatever Chinese POS seemed the least likely to break after the first use. I’m going to Peachtree Woodworking Supply Inc. directly to confidently purchase whatever I might need and not really care about any cost comparison. Because that’s what real, thoughtful customer service does for a business. It makes that customer instantly loyal and most of the time, a strong promoter of that business. This is so sad that I am so overwhelmed with joy from something that used to be a standard in any successful business. So all you $4.99 plastic, generic, POS pushers out there - this is how you do it! Care about what you’re selling and about who you sell it to!

The carrier is only useful if it's mounted because it's too top heavy, and the pads can stick together a bit, but altogether this is fantastic.

Fantastic! They work better than advertised. Perfect for fret polishing. Easy to use and reusable.

Good quality product. Stand is a little gimmicky, but durable. Value is good if you want the stand, otherwise there are better options (i.e. when you order more, pick one without the stand)

These work great for fountain pen restorations.

I love the fact that I can go from one grit to the next without hunting for a color chart that isn’t very representative of the actual colors of the pads. I ended up writing the grit on each pad in case they get out of order, but the stand takes care of keeping things straight. Stand is fairly heavy-duty and should last for years. The pads themselves work great, but once they’ve reached the end of their lifespan they disintegrate quickly. They do provide excellent results and I will continue to purchase them.

When I purchased this I had my doubts on the usefulness of the holder, but I love it! I mounted right in front of my work station and can go though the sanding pads one by one replacing them as I use them so they stay in order. The sanding pads are excellent and give me a super smooth finish.

The 2 inch by 2 inch Micro-Mesh Soft Touch Sanding Pads work wonderful. This photo showing the color of the pads & the color pattern on the side of the dispenser do not match. The Galvanized Steel Dispenser is a JOKE. I've tried making adjustments & that doesn't help. If you use the Galvanized Steel Dispenser & do any wet sanding you just may start saying your Sunday School Lesson's.
