A hand-held, manually-operated sanding tool for use with a replaceable
sheet of abrasive material includes a base member and a clamping
mechanism. The base member defines first and second ends, a bottom
surface extending between the first and second ends, a contact surface
formed opposite the bottom surface and extending from the first end, and
at least one tooth extending from the contact surface. The clamping
mechanism is pivotally connected to the base member at a pivot point,
defines a front section opposite the pivot point, and is movable about
the pivot point between an open position, in which the front section is
spaced from the contact surface for receiving an end portion of a sheet
of abrasive material, and a closed position, in which the clamping
mechanism is more proximate the contact surface and the front section is
more proximate the at least one tooth.
