    Mesh grit works better than paper. Decent Velcro adhesion. Overpriced for what they are.

    Abranet is definitely longer lasting than traditional orbital sanding disks. Its the only abrasive disk i use now. For those of you interested or curious: I did purchase a big box of the Autonet to compare. My observations: stick with Abranet for wood sanding. Autonet does not last nearly as long on wood. Also, you do need to hook into dust collection to gain all the benefits of Abranet, otherwise there will be sanding dust everywhere just like any other abrasive disk.

    I have tried many sanding disks out there that are sold, and this is the best one I have used to date. It is expensive so buy in bulk and the price is much cheaper. Many times these products are not described as what best to use for. Are you using on bare wood? Are you using to abrade a varnish? Are you using it to remove varnish? All are questions that are very relevant to what type of sanding disk to use or buy, as many times one is not very well suited for another application, as in my case, varnish removal or abrading for finish coat. These disks are the best I have used that eliminate all sanding scratches if used correctly. Very important for either getting ready to varnish or for abrading for finish coat. This is where these shine. No scratches whatsoever. Please be very careful when sanding as any water based finish will show scratches much more than oil finishes, and many will tell you to not use aluminum oxide paper with silicate for water born finishes as the scratches will show through. This review is for polyurethane finishes only as I do not use water based finishes. These have excellent scratch resistant properties which I have had problems with using other manufacturers sanding disks. That is the bottom line for me. However, I was not totally impressed with dust pickup using my vac on the RO sander. That is why I gave it 4 stars. It is best to use a pad protector under these, which I did, and that may have contributed to less than impressive dust control. However, the protector aided in sanding much more efficiently. Bottom line is these are excellent quality sanding disks, seem to last as long or longer than others, and no scratches whatsoever. No fisheyes either. These are my go to sanding disks when I get ready to apply my first coat of varnish or my final coat of varnish. I use cheaper disks for the bull work and then use these to finish off. Buy them and you will not be disappointed. I have used these for over 30 years so I am not talking as a homeowner, but as a professional. Also remember to use a quality RO sander as these work in unison with the right equipment and you cant beat the new RO sander by Porter Cable for the money.

    As others have mentioned, I received mine in a Clayton box with a mirka sticker. The discs themselves do appear to be mirka labeled, but I still question if they are legitimate.

    When used with an adequate vacuum it is nearly dust free. A true relief.

    The mesh disks provide a superior finish. The Sungold product line of similar disks (see my other reviews) perform equally as well in my opinion. You will be pleased with either the Abranet or Sungold product. Buying by the box of 50 is the most cost effective.

    Ive used regular sandpaper for years. I recently added these to my shop and I cant believe how much I love them. My sander is now connected to the vacuum system and theres minimal dust. Also, these mesh discs reduce the abrasion marks associated with sandpaper. They leave a much smoother finish. I recommend these.

    These are best for larger flat surfaces. On narrow stock, the edge of the disk comes loose, sometimes creating a folded section at the out edge. Sometimes the disk would fly off, but that might have been due to condition of unlying pad. Hard to tell about longevity. Think Ill stick with Diablo

    Not a bad product but also not good was using on a festool and a DeWalt sander had bad luck with them staying on the dewalt. They dont clog and seem to have a fairly decent life span. And since mesh dont have to worry about hole patterns lining up which is why I purchased
