Hand Sanding vs Power Sanding Drywall: Pros and Cons

Not every drywall job calls for a power sander. For smaller rooms and finish work, I often prefer sanding by hand.

In this video, I go over the sanding sponges I use, the grit selection, and when hand sanding makes sense—and when it absolutely doesn’t.
