Richard Pole Sander Head

A 9" x 3 1/4" swivel-head pole sander from Richard for sanding drywall compound, ceilings and walls at height. Threads onto any standard extension pole.

The non-flop universal joint is what you're paying for: the pad stays flat on the surface as you change your angle instead of flipping over, which is what keeps you from digging an edge in and leaving gouges to re-mud.

Specs

• 9" x 3 1/4" pad — takes standard drywall sanding screens and cut sheets
• Polypropylene structural foam body — light enough to run overhead without wearing you out
• Female Acme thread — fits standard drywall and broom-handle extension poles
• Rubber backing pad with nickel-plated steel mounting clips
• Pole and sanding screens sold separately

Grit guide

For drywall compound, 120–150 grit is the usual choice; go finer for the final pass before priming. Screens clog less than paper and can be knocked clean and reused.

Before you prime

Sanding compound raises a lot of fine dust and leaves a chalky film. Vacuum, then wipe the wall down and let it dry fully — primer will not bond properly through dust.
