Hand sanding corners used to KILL my knuckles until i bought a pole sander head for the angle bits

For YEARS i was on my knees with a little sanding sponge on every inside corner. My hands looked like i went 10 rounds with a cheese grater. Then a guy at the supply house in Portland told me about the Hyde pole sander with the angled pad. First job with it last Tuesday and i finished the whole room in half the time. Has anyone else switched to those corner pole attachments or am i late to the party?

Those angled pole attachments are a game changer for sure. The trick is finding one that locks tight and doesn't wobble when you're putting pressure on it. Have you had any issues with the pad slipping off the corners on long runs?

Man, okay so my buddy tried one of those and it was a total mess. He's out on a trail run, like 8 miles in, and the pad just slides off the corner of his pole every time he pushes off. He said he spent more time fixing the thing than actually running. It drove him nuts because the company promised it would lock tight, but it just didn't hold up. He finally just tossed it in the trash and went back to the basic rubber tips.
