I hear ya. I can see your point of buying specific grits required, I just thought it would be nice to have a broad assortment of almost all the grits needed for a restore. However, for a small fry restorer such as myself buying this assortment would be all I need when doing it by hand. At 2 - 9"x11" sizes per grit that can go a long way for some of us small fries.

I was just at Home Depot and saw the assortment they offered and all the bundles, I could easily rack up $15 in paper just getting what I need and then some for a new comer restorer.

As I mentioned, buying the specific grits is awesome especially if you are running low on a specific grit but for getting started this is pretty nice to have an all inclusive bundle versus driving to multiple locations. And, not at a bad price, too.

However, I thought this would be nice to share and see if the restorers here would agree or possibly disagree about this. The investment is fairly low for both the sandpaper and rouge.

My apologies if this has upset the locals. I certainly hope it hasn't.
