Abstract
A sanding tool for sanding drywall corner joints is provided. The tool has an elongated mounting plate with a swivel handle attached to one side, and to the other side is attached one or more circular sanding disk holders to which disks of sanding medium are removably attached to a flat face of the sanding disk holder. The sanding disk holders are rotatably mounted on short axles attached to the mounting plate, and are each configured having a relatively wide edge that frictionally engages a wall adjacent the wall being sanded. This causes the sanding disk holder to rotate, sanding the drywall joint with a rotary motion instead of a linear motion.

A drywall sanding tool for sanding drywall mud of drywall corner joints, said drywall sanding tool comprising:
- an elongated mounting plate,
- at least two circular sanding disc holders rotatably mounted to one side of said mounting plate, said circular sanding disk holders each having a flat face and a relatively thick edge,
- a sanding disk removably attachable to a face of each circular sanding disk holder of said circular sanding disk holders,
- said relatively thick edge of each of said circular sanding disk holders configured for engagement with a wall adjacent to a wall of said drywall corner joint being sanded, for causing rotation of said circular sanding disk holders as they are moved along said drywall corner joint, developing a rotary sanding motion against said drywall corner joint being sanded,
- a handle mounted for swiveling operation attached to an opposite side of said plate.
A drywall sanding tool for sanding drywall mud of a drywall corner joint, said drywall sanding tool comprising:
- a mounting plate,
- at least two rotational support means connected to one side of said mounting plate,
- at least two drywall sanding disk support means rotationally engaging respective ones of said at least two rotational support means, each said sanding disk support means for removably holding a disk of drywall sanding medium,
- edges of said at least two drywall sanding disk support means configured for frictionally engaging a wall adjacent a wall of said drywall corner joint being sanded, facilitating rotation of said drywall sanding disk support means as said sanding disk support means are moved along said drywall corner joint,
- a handle mounted for swiveling operation attached to an opposite side of said mounting plate, for moving said sanding tool along said drywall corner joint.
