5 Inch 8 Hole Hook and Loop Replacement Sander Pad for Craftsman 315112170, 315116940, 315116950, 315112180, 315279870 Random Orbit Sanders

This fit my craftsman pro sander perfectly, 315116940. I understand that really there are only two types one with three holes the other with four but I went the safe route and purchased this one as it actually listed my model number as a fit. No drilling no problem and the quality is just as good as the original pad, well it appears to be anyway. I am considering purchasing another one for a backup and most likely will fit some other sanders I own. Its a great deal. Its a solid pad and a perfect fit. Also, if the listing still has the measurements of the holes shown, take a minute just to double check. Save you some trouble. I am very happy with this replacement pad by Tockrop.

Item used twice now will not hold paper. Poorly made imho

Great fit for the Craftsman. Super heavy duty velcro. Destroys the backing of the sandpaper discs and sends them flying off the orbital sander with the fabric backing remaining on the velcro. The discs can no longer be used on the orbital. I went through a dozen discs and ended up buying a different orbital sander. I never had this issue with any sanding discs before. The heavy duty velcro removes the fabric backing when peeling off as well. Super disappointed in this product.

Be careful. Add shows hole dimensions that are incorrect. I had to drill new holes to use... Other than that it does stick well to the sandpaper.

These fit perfectly on my Craftsman sander. However, the “hook-and-latch” engineer missed the mark on design. The profile is slick plastic, and a standard sanding pad will last a few seconds and then fly off. I’ve been using palm sanders for decades, and am thoroughly disappointed in these.

As a replacement backing for my Craftsman 5 orbital sander, this was priced well and fit perfectly. The four original screws fit well to mount it. I did notice that after using it for about 20 minutes off and on, I lifted it off of the piece of wood that I was sanding and the sand paper shot off onto the work bench. No others did this, and I cant say it wasnt the sand-paper manufacturers fault. So far, this replacement backing works great!

This is a poor substitute for a Craftsman part. It broke the third time I used it with light use only. The plastic ring where the screws anchor it to the sander all sheared. I would not recommend this product.

Not bad

Technically they will work but they are really really cheap made. They have no metal where the screws go through they just some kind of wood material with laminate covering them.
