I use plain old emery boards; the two-sided/two-grit kind sold in the cosmetic section of dept stores. I cut the ends to specialized shapes with scissors depending on the job. As they get old, clogged and/or lose their grit, they're still useful for finer work but when new the brown side is nicely aggressive on styrene. The soft padded emery boards can also be used for models and are a great deal cheaper than the "hobby grade" type. I've heard of using a paper hole puncher to make sandpaper disks to glue onto pencil erasers (good for sanding gun tubs) but have yet to try.
merriman: I like the sharpened brass tube sandpaper cutters. Genius(!) but of course no different from a leather punch.
What is the name of the red plastic belt sander in your last photo? I have one but I don't know what it's called nor how or where to order new belts. They work great for narrow areas though.
The only markings on that tool is a patent number (4730.430) and 'made in the USA'. That's it, no logo. Nott'n! Sorry. A very useful tool. You would think those dopes would emblazon their name all over the thing!
