WHAT IS IT?

A pack of sandpaper sheets from the Tesco Value range of homewares. The pack costs under £1 and for that you'll receive 10 square sheets of sandpaper of varying strengths to ensure this is all you need for your household DIY.

IS IT ANY GOOD?

For the cost this is a good buy as long as you only need the sandpaper for light tasks as even the most scratchy one is not as effective as the more expensive sandpapers that my husband buys. We are using sandpaper currently to sand down an antique cot we have bought for my month old daughter so we can refurbish it to our taste.

There isn't too much difference between the strengths and none of them are as effective as the sandpaper sheets my husband buys but these are very cheap so if I have to use all ten sheets it's still as cost effective as buying the more costly versions.

The sheets are quite durable but are very thin so not comfortable to hold if sanding for long periods of time. They are too fragile to be used with electrical sanders, I tried to attach one of the sheets to a sander and it lost all effectiveness within one minute of continual sanding and the folded edges started to tear. I have been using the Tesco Value sandpaper to sand down some curved carved edges on the bars of the cot and they are perfect for this job, better than the bulkier expensive sandpaper we have in the shed. It was effective when I used longer motions to sand down the long edges of the cot but wore down quicker than I expected.
