Abstract

A two-piece sanding block presents base and handle/grip components. The base presents a flat surface for extension of a strip of sandpaper or other abrasive material therealong. Prongs extending from the base pierce the ends of the strip. The prongs seat within the handle and cooperate with a post which seats in the base for precluding slippage between the base and handle during the sanding process. Upon placing the handle atop the base the strip is further held in place. The top surface of the handle presents a particularly configured arch-like surface for complementing the fingers and palm of the user in an ergonomic fit therebetween.
