A pole sander is a manual sander which has a long, thin handle attached. The tool is used to sand down large, flat surface areas, such as walls, ceilings and floors.
The tool is designed to work at a quicker pace than when using sandpaper alone, as the user can cover a greater surface area in less time.
The pole-like handle provides additional length, so you can sand out-of reach areas that may otherwise be inaccessible
It also means less bending and stretching during sanding jobs. This is a major advantage, as it saves the back and shoulder muscles from being strained.
