FWIW I have tried tools like that.They always seem too rigid or too large to do the sanding I want to do: 99% of which is to enlarge the thumb insert by small amounts.

 

I also seem to migrate back to a simple piece of sandpaper, folded into a triple layer, about 3"- 3 1/2" long and 5/8"- 3/4" wide, and curved slightly to fit against my index finger.  It makes the best and most adjustable abrasive to take out a little (220 - 400 grit) or a lot (60, 80, 100 grit).

 

 

I'd recommend using a dremmel tool and cutting your own sanding disc to use from sand paper. If you don't have a dremmel tool you can usually find one for $30 and then the cost of sandpaper. You have a wide variety of grit to choose from and if you have a poker chip or a 50 cent piece it is perfect for tracing the disc size needed.

 

My brother has a wood dowel that he wrapped some sand paper around and you can just hold it in place with your fingers as you use it or with some tape. If you wrap the sand paper a little tight tape will hold it in place perfectly. It works the same as the tool listed, but the dremmel is more proffered and consistent. As listed the other option of folding some sandpaper a few times and using your finger works really well. I always come some in my bag for bowling just in case for that very reason. Usually one kinds course grit and one smoother grit. Hope that helps.

I am a woodworker on the side.   I bought various dowel sizes from my hardware store for about 2 bucks each and wrapped some "stick on" 150 grit sandpaper to the dowel rod.  It works great and I spent less than 10 bucks.
