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

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.

Dont purchase this replacement pad. After 2 uses sandpaper no longer sticks to it.

it broke off soon after I mounted and started using the sander

This pad is a joke!! I put it on my sander and it fell off within 15 seconds. Amazon should not allow clowns like these to sell on their site, period.

Good so far. Pads stick well and it fits my BO5041/K Makita. I will update after running it for a few days. Update works great so far have a full 8 hours on it with no issues. Quality at an affordable price. Update: still going strong. I had my 4 year old helping at work and she picked this up without a sanding disk on it and sanded for about 5 min and the dang thing still holds pads hahahahaha!!

As expected

Velcro is not as aggressive as original and I can tell ill be replacing sooner then I want.

The replacement pad does not fit the Makita B05031K as the description says. The openings for the screw head are too small. Please see photos showing the improper fit, and the difference between the OEM pad screw holes (left) and this part (right). If youre patient, you may be able to modify the part with a drill bit to widen the holes sufficiently. Disappointed with this purchase.

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.

Great product. Didnt see any difference in appearance or performance versus the factory original part
