5-Inch 8-Hole Hook and Loop Sanding Discs 70 Pcs and Replacement Sander Pad Set, Compatible with Black & Decker RO 100, Part Number 380278-00

This literally fell apart the very first time I used it. I got about 10 minutes out of it.

Nice to have some pads that came with it, but they’re no good if it melts. The holes around the screws melted and widened within the first couple hours of use.

I bought this pad to replace the one on my black n decker, which it claimed to fit. However the b&d pad had a raised ring which spaced the pad from the guard, allowing the foam of pad to clear the plastic shroud. This pad has no such ring, but I was able to improvise by gluing four rubber gaskets (3/16 thick) above the screw holes. This has thrown off the balance a bit, and the sander suffers as the increased resistance has increased the slip in the differential. Even though the gaskets were easily twice the hieght of the original pads spacing ring, the pads blunt side profile still contacted the plastic shroud and had to be reshaped before the two components had adequate clearance. The sandpaper is cheap and will wear out quickly on the lower grits (40, 60, 80) but works adequately on the higher grits (160, 220, 600). HOWEVER, the paper is sized so that it has no overlap on the pad; you have to line it up perfectly or youll get little velcro scratches on your workpiece. Still, the sheer volume of sandpaper and range of grits you get for the price is impressive Tl,dr: you get what you pay for

Great for the price! Used as soon it came in. Was amazed. Love the quality of pads.

Good deal, reasonable price

So happy I didnt have to purchase a whole new sander! very pleased with the replacement.

I was very excited to get this replacement orbital pad and now that is replaced by disappointment. The padded part that the sandpaper adheres to fell apart on my 2nd use. I have been very busy since this part came in and Ive been looking forward to a chance to use my sander. The first use was really just putting the pad on my sander and testing it out. Today I was going to finish up a project, I thought, and I finally started using my sander and 10 minutes later the pad detached from the disk. I dont know if it is a quality issue or if a defect slipped through by I wont purchase again.

The back of the replacement pad is plastic so the screws melt right through with in 3 seconds of using it.return the first one They sent me a replacement same thing happened but this time it flew off and hit my leg and cut my leg open

Better pad than the original. My Black and Decker palm sander works like new again.

Look it is a good value since the OEM replacement is almost 30.00 and new sander is 60.00. Unfortunately the one I received did not match the picture. The screw holes were slightly off and it completely lacked the alignment holes used to line up 4 protruding nubs on the sanders main faceplate. I re-drilled the screw holes and added the nub holes using the old faceplate as a template. Quality is fine but the picture did not match what I received. It does come with a nice supply of sandpaper so even if you dont get a perfect fit it isnt a total waste.
