5 Inch 8-Hole Hook and Loop Sander Pads Replacement Sanding Pads for DeWalt DW420, DW421, Dw423, DW426, D26451, D26453 Orbital Sander

Yes, I saw the bad reviews but thought I would try one anyway. (I also bought an OEM DEWALT pad at the same time, somewhat expecting to be disappointed with this 1/2 price plastic POS). It installed fine. I started a not very intense sanding job and noticed some strange loud vibration sounds and then the pad completely separated from the sander. Upon examination (see photos), the screw holes had enlarged enough to cause the separation. No fix looks possible. That is my $8+ lesson for the day. Maybe it will help you decide not to buy this one. Looking at all the options here, I am not sure which would be better. Ill be installing the DEWALT later today...hoping it is higher quality than this cheap plastic one.

The hooks are new though you would swear theyre a little wore down because theyll hardly hold the sanding pads at first...after a while they seemed to break in and held better.

I liked it because it fit and worked just like the original.

Works just like it should, all lives matter

The key to buying replacement pads is to make sure yours and the products has the same attachment points. This product attaches with 3 screws. There are others that attach with 4 and are not compatible. Just be sure to pay attention to what you have and what you are buying.

Fit onto my sander perfectly. But as I started sanding I noticed that it wouldnt hold tightly to the sandpaper pads. They just seem to fall right off of it. Should stick like Velcro but doesnt work nearly as good as the original. Im terribly disappointed.

Sandpaper discs adhered to this pad just great! Unfortunately, the pad did not adhere to the sander very well. This replacement pad worked about twice before my sander started making odd sounds, and the action felt off. I turned it off, thank goodness, before examining the disc, and found that the attachment screws had stripped out the part of the disc where they connect to the sander. (See photo - the OEM part is on the left, and this item is on the right). I gave it a tug and it fell right off. When I compared it to the OEM part, I found that the original had a metal backing to keep it screwed onto the sander, while this part had only a plastic backing, which the action of the sander had quickly eroded away. Im going to order a different one with a metal backing. Be careful.

fast delivery and installed perfectly.

Easy to install, fits perfectly,

Works fine. Pad is stiffer than original. Installation had a hitch, the screw holes don’t line up perfectly so a little persuasion is necessary.
