(More customer reviews)My project had innumerable paint ridges to sand down, cracked plaster to even out before patching, and badly executed previous patching jobs to sand down and re-apply. In the past, I've done this type of thing with a putty knife and a lot of elbow grease, and I've bloodied my knuckles when the knife slipped and they scraped along sand painted walls. For this project, that would probably have taken months to do a good job, and I don't have that kind of time. I'm not a professional.. just a homeowner trying to do an adequate job with some well needed repainting.
Enter the Soniccrafter with the triangular carbide rasp attachment. The carbide rasp worked through sixty years of my walls' wear and tear like a trooper. I used it like a sander, sliding it along the wall over and over to level out the surface. Sand paper is no good, of course - between the sand paint and the sand in the plaster it would be ruined in moments. The carbide steel didn't show any sign of wear after several hours of work. I learned that I needed to keep the rasp constantly moving along the wall, or else the rapid side-to-side motion of the rasp can dig grooves.
Without this tool, I would have spent twice as long, and not done half as good a job. This went well enough that I'm going to have to stop making excuses and do something about the peeling paint in the bathroom.
