I've been using a Mouse to prepare french doors for revarnishing. The mouse makes it a lot easier. Even if you use marine spar varnish, the sun gets to it after a couple of years and its a real pain to detail sand the wood trim.
I thought it would do more than it does, and I'm dissapointed that there's only 3 grades of sandpaper. I thought I'd be able to tackle my difficult sanding jobs. I feel like I was ripped off. They need a wider range of grit for a lesser cost, such as 50 grit. I was so excited about my Black&Decker Mouse. It was billed as a sander and it's more of a fine tuner or a polisher/scrubber. It's a glorified polisher that can get into the nooks. It doesn't sand very well.
The Black and Decker "Mouse Sander" is a wonderfully easy to use tool.Lightweight and easy to hold it is a shame that the pads need to be replaced often while working on a particular item, so you wouldn't want to use it on a big job.ie: bureau,chest,etc.I have used mine to do large jobs when no other options were available and by the time you buy replacement pads in the right grit to complete the project,you could have had a nice down payment on a larger and more efficient sander.Once I completed my first table,I searched around looking for other projects simply to use this tool.I recommend it to first time refinishers.
There are only 5 sheets of sandpaper in this package. I guess we pay for the convenience of having sandpaper cut to size so it fits the mouse sander
