You don’t even have to be rude about it because this is a set of (3) small cleaning brushes for removing rust, paint, grime and schmutz in general. They’re 7” long with plastic handles with 45-degree offset heads. You’ll get (1) each with stainless steel, brass and stiff nylon bristles. The brush area is 1-1/2” x 1/4” on all of them.

Or forever compared to sandpaper, anyway. These sponges from 3M have a microfine grit and measure 5-1/2" x 4-1/2" x 3/16".  We'll send you (3) so your kids can help too. And they’re made in England, where the royal grit is always microfine.

Super-long Q-type tips are for people who don't want to get too close to their ears. Actually, these are tech swabs with cotton tops and wooden sticks for lab work, so leave your ears out of it. Good for other body parts, though, and for too many craft applications to list. You get (3) packs, for a total of (300) 6-1/4" long fuzzy-topped sticks.

This nicely made 13-piece file set has a dozen diamond-encrusted files at 2, 4 and 6mm wide x 1-3/16” long with 120, 180, 300, and 400 grit surfaces. They all fit nicely into a colleted 4-3/4” long aluminum handle, which is included . Go rub something the right way.

It’s a whetstone for sharpening knives and no, it doesn’t need to be wet to use. (“Whet” means to hone.) This one is small, pocket knife-size. Some folks use a little mineral oil, but that isn’t necessary either. This stone is 220-grit, and measures 3-7/8" x 1" x 1/2". Lay it on a wet paper or cloth towel, so it doesn’t slip, then pull your blade across it a dozen times on each side with the edge tipped to a about 22-1/2-degree angle or less, which you approximate by standing it up at 90 degrees, then tipping it halfway to 45, then halfway again.

So you won't want to lose this 6-piece set of diamond burrs. They're on 1/4" shanks, and are 2-1/4" to 2-3/8" long OA, with approx 1/2" dia heads. The set includes one of each shape: cylinder, round-end cylinder, round, egg, inverse cone and pointed cone. All are #40 grit. Incredibly handy for those tough jobs!

We’ve got a lovely bunch of sanding sponges. And they can be yours for less than you’d drop in a fast food drive-thru. Most are from 3M and Norton Abrasives®, and they range from coarse to fine grit in sizes from 4" x 2-3/4" x 1" to 4-7/8" x 3-1/2" x 1". We’ll pick a couple for you, OK?

For those hard-to-reach contours, nothing beats a wet/dry sanding sponge. This one measures 4" x 2-3/4" x 1" and is marked "Very Fine/Fine, Tres Fin/Fin, Muy Fino/Fino," which we make to be approx 220 grit, although we didn't count them.
