Love these for getting the small cut always from the spruces.
"Must have—superior to all others"

These sticks from Stevens International are the best I have found. They are easy to clean with an acrylic eraser, last well, and can be cut to different shapes and sizes. When the end wears out, I just cut it off with an ordinary wire cutter. I have little use for the 100 and 180 grits, except for rapid stock removal. However, the finer grits are in constant use. I like that they are labeled—no guessing. I do wish they offered a set with 320, 400, 600, and 800 grits.
"These are great sanding sticks"

These are great sanding sticks and the assortment is so useful. I bought the assorted pack to try the sticks. You get a 100, 180, 240, 320, 400, 600, and 800 grit stick. They are tapered so you can us the small end or the big end. These have become my go to sticks. I plan on get the individual packs so I have more of each one. You can use them wet or dry and they clean out with ease. I can't say how long they will last, since I have only had them for less than a month, but they are holding up really great I used the on about 3 models so far.
