A CLOSER LOOK: TRIM-TEX
Black Widow® Pro
Evolution of the Classic 885 Sanding Blocks
There’s a reason the classic Trim-Tex 885 sanding block earned a loyal following among plasterers and drywall finishers. Known for its familiar shape, dual-angle design and reliable sanding performance, it became a go-to block for plasterers who wanted to get the job done right. Now, Trim-Tex has taken inspiration from that classic design and brought it into a new generation of sanding with the Black Widow® Pro Sanding Block (885-PRO).
Built from a Classic
The Black Widow® Pro has been modelled off the classic 885 Trim-Tex blocks that many plasterers remember and loved using. The familiar dual-angled, dual-grit design has been retained, giving finishers a sanding block that feels instantly familiar in the hand while introducing some important upgrades. The result is a block that combines the feel and performance of a classic Trim-Tex abrasive with a more durable, upgraded construction.
Dual Patented Radius Edges
One of the standout features of the Black Widow® Pro is its two patented radius edges. These rounded edges are designed to help finishers sand around joints and surfaces without creating the scuffs, scrapes and gouges that can occur with a traditional sharp edge. The block also features tapered edges for more detailed sanding work, giving you greater versatility across different applications. Whether you're knocking back a join, refining a surface or getting into tighter areas, the Black Widow Pro is designed to give you more control over the finish.
Durable by Design
The Black Widow® Pro features a sturdy resin construction, designed to stand up to the demands of regular use. For plasterers, durability matters. A sanding block that holds its shape and abrasive performance for longer means less time replacing blocks and more time getting through the job. The Black Widow® Pro is built to last longer, making it a dependable sanding block. The block comes with 100/120 dual grits, giving you the flexibility to tackle a range of sanding applications with one block.
Don't Just Take Our Word for It
Experienced plasterers Anthony Axon and Gary Holt have both put the new Black Widow® Pro Sanding Blocks to the test. Interestingly, both came away with the same impression: the Black Widow® Pro delivers the familiar feel and performance of the original 885 blocks that so many plasterers remember.
