Coverage and How Much You Need

Each block sands joint compound across a 5 in. x 3-1/4 in. face, covering seams and flats roughly 40% faster per pass than standard blocks due to its larger area. For a typical drywall room, a few blocks usually suffice; a 24-pack box is sized for contractor crews and multiple rooms.

Fit and Compatibility

The 885 is a handheld block that works on any standard drywall joint compound and pairs with Trim-Tex corner bead and finishing products. The same Dual Angle block is also offered in Fine/Fine grit (stock number 885F) and in 100-piece bulk boxes if you need finer grit or higher volume.

Product Expert Notes

The dual angle design earns its keep on inside corners and tight transitions, where a flat block tears into adjoining faces. Use the medium face to knock down ridges and taping mud, then flip to the fine face for the final pass so you don't leave scratch marks under primer. On large commercial jobs, the 100-piece bulk box is more economical, but the 24-pack is right for a single crew or residential work. Keep blocks dry; saturated grit faces load up quickly and lose cut.

Wear a dust mask and eye protection when sanding drywall; sanding dust contains joint compound particles that should not be inhaled.
