susieq4131 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I have a Black & Decker mouse sander that I use for the edges of bowls, etc. My problem is that it is really too wide to use comfortably. It doesn't fit my hand well. I can't seem to find a smaller one. If there are any companies out there listening, why not a line of tools for your smaller customers? Perhaps with pink handles? I seriously believe these would be hot items under the tree. Any solutions to this problem would be appreciated. SQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMarcel Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 These might be too small, but there are several temptations in this list from Micro-Mark. They sell a lot of tools for modelers. A fun catalog, for sure. Also, long ago I had a B&D "5 in 1" sander and you could remove most of the pad leaving a small diamond at the tip. IIRC, there was another B&D sander that was just the small diamond pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B & K makes a mini mouse, but I can't seem to find the dimensions for it. The search goes on.... SQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nateswoodworks Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Would this work contour sander ? My wife bought one for me a number of years ago, it does come with a mouse shaped pad that I think would be what you are looking for. Just a thought, keep us posted. As for the pink, I hope the major tool makers don't totally switch over to it but my little girl would love a pink sander and I would like to find a pair of saftey glasses with pink frames for her as well!

Nate Thanks for the info on that sander. A sander is such a personal a thing. Finding the perfect sander is harder than finding the perfect mate. OM Gosh take a look at this site! Pink overalls, ear protectors, eye protectors, hammers, etc. lol I love it! http://www.charmandhammer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT SQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beechwood Chip Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 A long time ago, in a forum far away... We were talking about how not to lose tools on a job site, and many people said that they painted their tools so they could tell which were theirs. The woman who painted her tools pink claimed that no one EVER walked off with them! You gotta respect the Power of Pink! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. SQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Trace Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Pink works as a tool ID very well. My wife painted my tile working tools pink, including the extension cords, and we never had a problem losing any of them. Check the local model airplane shops for small sanders, saws and the like.
