There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
At the end of every climb after really washing my hands and letting them dry, I use the lower grit side to remove any lifted skin, and the higher grit side to finish off the trim. Then I usually use ClimbSkin salve to finish off my hand care regimen.
I have to say, this has been the ritual that avoided me from having a flapper where your skin rips and flaps out from a major blister or something.
Pros
- It'll save you from painful flappers
- It really cleans up the dead skin to form a tougher skin on your hands for climbing
- Comes with 2 more pairs of sandpaper you can attach to the wooden handle
- It lasts a while (I have been using the original pair of sanding surfaces for over a month and it should last longer before I have to replace them)
Cons
- It's a double sided sandpaper with a wooden hold and a lanyard (maybe I can make one -- Nah. Too lazy)
- Sometimes the bend on the handle make it hard to sand some places (you get used to it though)
Overall, this is a good tool to have in your skin care arsenal for climbers (indoor or outdoor). I highly recommend getting one, unless you have enough time in the world to build one yourself. Also, using an emery board maybe a lower cost option if you can find the right grit size for similar tasks.
I will buy another set once this one wears out because I love how compact it is and does a great job for the skin care tasks.
Hope this helps.
