    I bought a lot of Klingspor some years back, which I have not yet used up.
    I haven't had any experience of the others but the older Klingspor is excellent.
    There are different opinions on the newer stuff.
    Here is a discussion on the boating forum:
    Klingspor vs Mirka and Indasa sandpaper - The WoodenBoat Forum

    All the brands that the Sandpaper man are good, as are his prices. Don't waste your money on the crap that the green shed has.
