3M 7000045717 Hookit Hand File Board 2.75x16 in

Product Description

The 3M 7000045717 is a firm plastic hand file board designed for leveling and surface preparation of auto body repair areas. The board features an easy-release hook face that accepts Hookit abrasive sheets sized 2-3/4 inches by 16 inches. Three integrated handles give the technician secure grip and control during hand-filing passes. The flat, rigid backing ensures consistent pressure distribution across the repair surface, which is critical for achieving a true flat panel before finish coats. Body shop technicians and collision repair professionals use this tool as a standard part of the block-sanding and leveling workflow.

This hand file board is used in automotive collision repair and refinishing applications where a flat backing block is needed to guide abrasive sheets across filled or primed panels. It is suited for leveling body filler, guide coat work, and primer flatting on both small and mid-size repair zones. The 2-3/4 inch by 16 inch format matches standard Hookit sheet dimensions for direct attachment without trimming.

Installation Notes

No tools or fasteners are required to mount abrasive sheets to this board. Press the Hookit abrasive sheet firmly onto the hook face to seat it before use.
