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

I loved it,fits amazing

When I loaned my sander to a friend the old pad came off. This replacement was easy. My friend has sanded some table tops with it.

Worked great on my old hand sander.

WENT RIGHT IN PLACE OF THE OLD ONE. GREAT VELCROW BACKING

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.

Everything fit

I am having trouble

My old original sander pad started turning to dust after years of use this new one fit perfectly

Finding anything in Amazon using Amazons search is a frustrating experience with a barrage of marketing incorrect products. I eventually rolled the dice and bought this product for my Craftsman Random Orbital Sander 315.116040 (see first three original parts photos) Be aware, this product **does not fit** the 315.116040 without modification. I didnt buy tools for show so I DIYd the sander pad by drilling the holes out to be ovals using the same diameter drill bit and using the side of the drill bit but to lengthen each hole radially outwards, very carefully. Each hole is roughly 1.5x long by 1.0x wide (do not widen!). Then I attached it to the Craftsman sander without issue. For the money I paid for this ($7.79) it was not worth my time to return the part. Based upon the immediate need, it was worth the time to try and modify, which worked out nicely this time.

Had to slightly alter the pad to get it to fit my sander, but that was an easy fix.
