The verdict
How you want the abrasive to attach.
Forney's emery cloth is a 1-inch by 10-yard hand-wrap roll — tear off a strip and work pipe, rod, or any tight contour by hand. The Stikit 426U is PSA-backed silicon carbide built to stick to blocks, files, or jigs for repeatable pressure. Forney is the analog tool. Stikit is the mounted one.
Pick Forney if
Pipework, rods, tight contours. You want to wrap and twist.
Pick 3M if
Block work, jig work, anywhere you want the paper to hold its shape and not yours.
