I have toyed with buying a B&D Mouse for sometime, but was not sure about committing based on some reviews and the uncertainty of where I could buy the replacement sanding paper and how cost effective it would be (and which types to get as each grade of paper is explained differently on different sites).I am so pleased I went ahead and bought the KA280, I love the iron shaped based plate and the finger attachment (not so sure on the 'sanding disc' base yet, it made my arms ache and hands red and didn't seem to be as effective as I'd hoped).I gave the mouse a good run in over the weekend on some old very silvered garden benches - wow what a change! I did the first bench using the sand paper provided in the kit (although you don't get much - I used the coarsest they provided 80g) and that turned out well, but I needed to get some more paper to do my second bench (whilst I had ordered some online it didn't arrive in time) so I nipped to homebase and got a mixed pack of 20 iron shaped types (code: X31029). This time I used the most abbrasive paper (40g) and that made the job even faster - although I will need to move up to a less abbrasive sort to improve the finish in places). I managed to use the iron shape place to also rock around the angled seat and back slats very effectively, but then need to finish a few awkward places with the finger attachment, But amazed how well it all went, and how addictive it gets once you have started - sad!It seems a bit harder to buy just the finger and profile paper on its own, but I did managed to get a number in a mixed pack of 35 (code: X37115).I must say the sand paper lasts a lot longer than expected I did the first bench using 2 irons shaped pieces and one disc piece and a finger, but the second bench where I used the coarser paper I only used the one iron shaped piece and a finger piece (although that disintegrated faster than the first, so will need to finish off with another piece).Well worth buying and I was also quite impressed by the dust extraction (even though I was working in the garden), it certainly picked up a lot in the little canister and I wasn't in clouds of dust whilst I was doing it either.
