5-Inch Hook and Loop Backing Pad Replacement Sander Pad for Ryobi RS290, RS280, P411, Milwaukee 6021-21 & 6034-21, Craftsman 315.112170,315.116940

It was pretty easy to install, however it didnt last more than a half a dozen uses. The foam pad broke apart into a half dozen pieces.

Easy to install

The Velcro that holds the paper is flawed and has zero holding strength. I bought this and some new sanding discs. As soon as you turn the sander on, the paper falls off. Im returning this for something of more quality. Dont waste your time with this one.

My old blue ryobi RS290’s still kickin so when it came time for back pad w/ Velcro (hook & loop) surface, I was concerned that the current RS290 aka RS290G (bright green-yellow) pads may not fit right. Ordered this one & it next day arrived. Took under a minute to manually screw on. (Sans drill so as to prevent over tightening; which could possibly result in forcing the screw heads through the hard plastic backing. Same protocol I used w/ OEM pads in the past.) Briefly stuck a an old sanding disc to the hook & loop surface just to see how well it stuck. Took a tug to detach it so now I’m excited to use it. Course it started pouring out so I’ll update with how it compares to OEM in action. I’m in constant project mode so I’ll be putting through a couple of big jobs the second it stops raining. When you’re wasting lots of sandpaper bc of fly offs, do yourself a favor & change the Velcro. This is an all in one pad & hook & loop assembly. Good idea to take a soft brush & get in there & remove dust buildup while you’re at it. Gonna do same thing with my finish sander next to get more use out of each pc of sandpaper. Happy sanding!

Prompt delivery, easy change out and fit perfectly.

used it for 3 minutes and the it started rattling and not functioning, the 4 holes thru which it is screwed to the sander got loose around the screws. Piece of junk.

I followed the directions but this pad came off during the very next project

The original ryobi blue had a indentation in the center for the bolt that the spindle plate spins on This one does not have that. So I will have to grind one in the center of the new one to accommodate that center bolt to prevent heat from friction.. See pics

This pad didnt last 10 minutes on my Ryobi sander. The weak plastic holes for screws opened up under pressure and the pad flew off making it useless.

Replacement for OEM part which finally gave out after years of use. This new part is very economical, arrived very fast and was easily installed.
