Whether for those difficult-to-reach spots or for carrying out minor corrections, the new GRANAT premium hand sanding abrasives ensure you will achieve the desired sanding results quickly and efficiently, even for hand sanding. Long lasting, high-performance abrasives are resistant to tearing and are durable and washable. The synthetic resin bonding provides a tenacious grip for long lasting cutting power without grooves or scratches.

Specially formed sponges provide unique profiles to tackle hard-to-solve hand sanding problems, and sheets and rolls tackle common sanding needs.

Flexible - Specially developed and shaped abrasive sheets and sponges feature different profiles, formats, and grits to adapt to hand sanding tasks. Uniform surface quality thanks to a foam that distributes pressure without compromising performance.

Robust - Durable high-quality abrasive components with bonded and fused grits provide long service life and high material removal rates. Resistant to loading and tearing without making grooves or scratches due to the strong grit bonding.

System - An extension of the Festool abrasive line-up for machines featuring Granat and Vlies abrasives to match the material removal capacity and long service life that creates the perfect surface performance.
