The Festool HSK-A Hand Sanding Block, 80x130 (item number 578960) is a purpose-built rectangular pad sized for 80x133mm abrasives and worked entirely by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt replaces item number 496962 — this is the same hand sanding block, reissued under a new item number with no functional changes. The dust-extraction adapter with bypass suction control, the hard rectangular pad, and the compatibility with Festool 80x133mm abrasives all carry over exactly as before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat earns it a spot on the truck is the built-in dust extraction. The integrated adapter connects directly to a Festool extraction hose, so you're not shaking dust off a sanding sheet or breathing it in while working a corner by hand. A bypass valve lets you back off suction when you want the abrasive to load more slowly on gummy paint or drywall compound, or open it up fully for dry sanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe block itself is shaped to sit comfortably in your hand through extended sanding sessions, and the backing has rounded edges so you're less likely to gouge or burnish the surface around the spot you're actually sanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's compatible with Festool Granat, Rubin, and Granat Net abrasives cut to 80x133mm, and it ships with a starter set — two sheets each of Granat Net in 80, 120, and 180 grit — plus a protection pad and both the bypass adapter and the Festool hose adapter you need to hook it to an extractor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the tool for finish carpenters, painters, and drywall finishers who need controlled, dust-free sanding in tight spots — door jambs, window returns, inside corners, ceiling transitions — where a powered sander is too big or too aggressive for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSand Clean Without an
