Reviews : Hobby-Stix Hobby Stix Swizzle Stick Sanders (15 assorted grits/Bag)

I have been using this product for quite some time now. I find it literally indispensable, especially for any “careful” or painstaking sanding jobs on large scale models. The variety of “grits” makes it very useful to grab whatever is needed at that particular moment. The good quality is quite consistent. My only objection is that this product is not durable enough to withstand wet sanding, which is for me essential due to the need to reduce scratch marks, which wet sanding is more likely to achieve. Still, it’s pretty easy then to revert to a finer grit stick to minimize scratched plastic surfaces, a modeler’s nightmare.

These inexpensive sanding sticks are my go-to abrasive product for cleaning up model parts. Five different grits means you can always find the right grit for the job at hand, and the sticks are padded, so they won't cut unwanted grooves in your work the way files can. They last a long time, and the ends can be cut off as they wear. An excellent value.

I love this sanding assortment. I do a lot of Sci-fi modeling and space is usually in limited supply and these get the job done. However don't get them wet or they will fall apart. I use them for everything from seam sanding to shaping putty and sprue glue joints and even sanding after a primer coat.

I didn't expect these to amount to much, but I was really wrong. I used them extensively when building a 1/700 destroyer, and the different grains gave me the perfect finish. They are really narrow, so they might not be great for all models, but they worked wonders on my small ships.

When you need to get into a tight corner or have a small piece that needs sanding then these Swizzle stick sanding blocks are what you need... They are the perfect size and fit for these jobs and you can cut them down for even smaller areas... Highly recommended for all models...

I have tried a few other snading sticks, but honestly was diappointed. After using these I will not go back, these are great for anything that has a curve to it. The only issues is they dont last a super long time, but then again they are cheap enough not to worry about.

If you use filler putty than these are for you. Nice size to get into those tight spots, and can be cut easily to fit any need. With this variety of grits you can sand away the ruff putty and get a smooth finish with the finer grits. I use these on every model I do.

This is a decent set of sanding sticks. The selection of grits is nice, you'll go thru all these most used grits. The life span on these is painfully short from my experience. Outside of that issue these are a great item to add to one's work bench.

Good sanding sticks for getting into small spaces. They are flexible, but the foam section will buckle with too much pressure so use with care. The only drawback is that they don't offer this product in similar size packages but for single grit numbers.

These are great and I recommend them over any other sanding stick. They are small (thin) and can be used in tighter spots. I find they come in greater variety (grits) and can be cut into smaller pieces so this set will last a very long time.

Bought a pack several weeks ago and was so impressed that I order and second pack. Great for getting into tight spaces. The various grits allow you to get a nice finish. As the stick get worn just snip off the use portion and keep sanding.

These work amazing. The sandpaper is high quality. They last a long time. You can really get in smaller areas on the model. For the price, you can't be it. The higher grits don't clog up and become useless.

I'm just a beginner modeler, but I've found these very handy. Since they've arrived I've used them almost exclusively and to get into all the tight spaces. Will buy again.

WHEN I BOUGHT THESE I THOUGHT THEY WERE BIGGER. THESE ARE A LITTLE TO THIN WORK GOOD BUT JUST A LITTLE TO THIN. THEY WORK GOOD BUT DON'T LAST LONG.

The first review convinced me to try this product. I like this product, I can get into places where my conventional sanding sticks could not get to.

Great for tight spots, great assortment of grits, and multiples of each grit. Will always keeps some of these on hand. Highly recommended.

An Excellent hobby tool. I could have used these on past models. Great for hard to reach areas, that you can’t reach with sand paper.

These work great for small area things. Not sure how long they'll hold up but I think it's definitely worth the $2.50.

Excellent for small and hard to reach area's. Would like to see them in finer grits as well. Like 800,1000,1500,2000.

Useful for small area...But it's a little too weak to handle. Maybe my hands are too strong...good item

These were junk, fell apart or only lasted a little while. You get what you pay for. Would not buy again

Not the greatest by all means but you get what you pay for I guess real flimsy and hard to work with.

These are fantastic. You can reach those hard to reach areas. Many grits and plenty of sticks.

Great for light sanding in corners and keeps you from wasting large amounts of sanding paper

These work great and I would recommend these to anyone if You have a small corner to sand.
