Alpha® Palm Sanding Block — 5" & 6" Hook & LoopThe Alpha® Palm Sanding Block is a semi-rigid foam hand-sander built for the detail areas a polisher cannot reach — inside corners, edges, baseboards, and tight cut-outs. The dome-shaped grip keeps even pressure on the surface for a consistent finish, and the hook-and-loop face accepts standard 5" and 6" sanding discs — Alpha Reznet, Ceramica Resin, sandpaper, or any compatible H&L disc. Waterproof construction allows both wet and dry use.Features Perfect for Detail Sanding Where Power Sanding Is Not An Option Accepts Standard 5" & 6” Hook and Loop Discs Ergonomic Dome-Shaped Grip is Made of Semi-Rigid Foam for Comfort Can Be Used with an Interface Pad for More Flexibility Works with Reznet, Ceramica Resin, and Sandpaper Discs .dst-accordion { margin-top: 25px; border: 1px solid #FDDCC5; border-radius: 6px; overflow: hidden; } .dst-accordion-item { border-bottom: 1px solid #FDDCC5; } .dst-accordion-item:last-child { border-bottom: none; } .dst-accordion-toggle { display: none; } .dst-accordion-label { display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; padding: 14px 20px; cursor: pointer; font-size: 17px; font-weight: 700; color: #231F20; background: #fff; transition: background 0.2s; } .dst-accordion-label:hover { background: #FFF3EB; } .dst-accordion-label::after { content: '+'; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 700; color: #F15C22; transition: transform 0.3s; } .dst-accordion-toggle:checked + .dst-accordion-label { background: #FFF3EB; } .dst-accordion-toggle:checked + .dst-accordion-label::after { content: '\2212'; } .dst-accordion-content { max-height: 0; overflow: hidden; transition: max-height 0.4s ease; padding: 0 20px; background: #fff; } .dst-accordion-toggle:checked ~ .dst-accordion-content { max-height: 5000px; padding: 15px 20px 20px; } Models / Part Numbers Part No. Diameter Shape Face Color UPC SB05HL 5" Round Hook & Loop Yellow 749173561139 SB06HL 6" Round Hook & Loop Yellow 749173561146 How to Use Choose the SB05HL (5") or SB06HL (6") block to match your disc size. Press a hook-and-loop disc onto the face — align it evenly so the edges do not overhang. For curved or concave surfaces, add an Alpha Flexible Interface Pad between the block and the disc. Sand with even, light pressure — let the grit do the work; excessive force shortens disc life. For wet sanding, keep the work area flushed with clean water and rinse the block periodically. Peel and replace the disc when grit is loaded or worn; the H&L face stays usable for many disc changes.
