Abstract
A hand-held, manually-operated sanding tool includes a base body, a handle, and a coupling device. The base body defines an aperture extending from a first surface of the base body to a second surface of the base body. The handle includes a grip and a post. The coupling device is coupled with the post of the handle through the aperture. The handle and the coupling device are positioned near opposite surfaces of the base body to rotatably couple the handle to the base body such that the handle is rotatable about an axis defined by the post.
