The full read
Nobody writes poetry about Gator, and that's fine, because Gator isn't trying to seduce you — it's trying to get picked up off a pegboard and put to work before you've finished thinking about it. A multi-grit pack of honest aluminum oxide that does the ordinary jobs without asking for a candlelit setup.
The range is the point: coarse enough to open, fine enough to close, and cheap enough that you won't feel precious about folding a sheet in half and using it up in one sitting. It won't last like the premium paper. It doesn't pretend to. It shows up, it works, it goes in the bin, no hard feelings.
Buy it for the drawer you raid when the good stuff is across the shop and the job is small and you just want it done. Low expectations, quietly met, every time.
Use it when
The fit is obvious.
- · Reach for the Gator Multi-Grit 9×11 Pack when the job is testing grit ranges, budget DIY, and first-time sanders — that is the fight it was built for.
- · Aluminum oxide is the reliable one: cheap, tough, no surprises and no complaints. It will outlast your patience before it outlasts the job.
- · This is the working middle: enough bite to matter, refined enough to leave the job somewhere worth continuing.
Skip it when
The job asks for something else.
- · Leave it if you are actually solving a different stage of the climb than the one this pick was chosen for.
- · Leave it if longevity and cut speed matter more than the price — cheap abrasive is cheap for reasons you feel on the tenth sheet.
- · Leave it on the shelf if you are flattening big panels all day — a random orbital keeps pressure even where your hand drifts.
Best for
Where it earns its keep.

Is 60-320 assorted the right grit lane for this?
It sits closest to 40 grit, 60 grit, 80 grit, 100 grit, 120 grit, 150 grit, 180 grit, 220 grit, and 320 grit. This is a cutting stage, not a finish stage. Use it to remove material, not to fake smoothness.
