A pole illumination system allows a person to shine light on a work surface even when that work surface is at a distance from the person. An adaptor attaches to the head of a pole and allows abrasives to be attached thereto. The adaptor has lights that illuminate from the sides thereof to cast light about the work surface or space.

The present invention relates to a polishing tool 10 comprising a holder 11, a ball 12 received in the holder 11, and a polishing foil 13 covering all or part of the free surface 12a of the ball 12.

A grinding device includes a support element and a preferably flexible grinding element held thereon. A carrier rests against the support element. A grinding layer is designed in such a way that in a grinding position, the grinding element is held on the support element in a frictionally locking manner.

Described is an apparatus for finishing metallic and non-metallic surfaces by abrasion techniques. Described is an apparatus configured for finishing a zone on the surface of a bladed article of manufacture, wherein the apparatus comprises one or more channels having a cross-sectional profile including at least one finishing area to finish an operative zone of the article that optimizes a clearance portion of the article, wherein an angle of each finishing area of the cross-sectional profile is substantively the same as an optimal clearance angle of the article, wherein the apparatus is configured to position the operable zone of the article along the angle of the finishing area during sharpening.

The disclosure relates to a sanding block for manual use, in particular for manually sanding surfaces, having at least one base plate for holding an abrasive article and at least one sanding block body having a gripping region. According to the disclosure, a rechargeable-battery operated device for removing sanding dust by suction is integrated in the sanding block, said device comprising at least a dust box, a motor housing, in which a drive motor provided with an impeller is provided, and a rechargeable battery for supplying the drive motor with power without an external power supply.

A sanding block. The sanding block includes a first member and a second member forming a planar body. The first member and second member have opposing angled edges and are connected via a tongue and groove joint along the opposing angled edges. A continuous channel is disposed through the first and second members. A barrel nut is disposed and can revolve in the channel of the first member. A screw is rotatably disposed through an exterior edge of the second member, wherein a shaft of the screw passes through the channel and is threaded through the barrel nut. A user can rotate the screw which causes the planar body to expand and contract. As the planar body expands and contracts, the barrel nut revolves allowing the shaft of the screw to pivot. A belt of sand paper can be secured to the sanding block via expansion of the planar body.
