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

I received the replacement sander pad on the date promised. It fit on to my sander with no issues. I have only had the need to use my sander once since I received the new pad. On that one occasion the sanding sheet adhered to the new pad fine. It was like having a new sander again.

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.

Good replacement part Good price Only thing holes don’t line up with my sander I had to drill new holes but really easy to do that

Exactly what I needed and so easy to replace.

Just as good if not as little bit better then the original discs that came with the sander. Great product, great buy.

This was a replacement pad for my Craftsman Orbital Sander model 315 112170. It fit the sander, but after about 1 hour of sanding the rubber ring and hard plastic on the inside of the pad broke and came flying out of the sander. Item seemed cheap for the price paid. Going to see if they will honor the warranty. I do not recommend this product.

This fixed my sander very well. So much better than buying a new one. Like new.

I lent out my sander when i got it back the hook and loop was off center. This was a 5 minute fix. It fit perfectly.

I am having trouble
