My 3M sanding block holder cracked right in my hand on a quarter panel yesterday

Was doing some final 800 grit work on a Honda Civic rear quarter. The plastic clip that holds the sandpaper just gave out, sent the block flying. Had to finish the section by hand, took way longer. Anyone have a brand for those holders that doesn't feel so cheap? I'm tired of buying replacements every few months.

Skip the cheap plastic ones. Get the 3M blue rubber block. Thing is a tank. Mine has lasted through two full paint jobs. Costs a bit more but you won't be buying another one.

Actually had the blue rubber one split on me too. The rubber got stiff and cracked after a year in my hot garage. I just stick with the cheap plastic ones now and keep a spare in the box.
