Same here Mike. I've used my bead blaster a lot for finishing larger parts. But like you say it can be messy. The little buffs are really handy for small jobs. The only caveat is that you get what you pay for. You can get them cheap from China or Amazon but they are thin on material and disintegrate pretty quickly. The more expensive buffs are denser and stand up to more use. I found out about them from a place that sells tools for jewelers. Apparently dentist offices use them a lot as well. No idea what for.
I've got Scotch-Brite in multiple forms. Hand pads, Roloc discs, "sanding" belts and the little 1" buffs. Oddly enough I have never gotten around to getting a deburring wheel for the bench grinder.
