POWERTEC 45204 A/O Hook and Loop 6 Hole Disc, 6, 40 Grit, 25PK

I could not find 40 grit in hook and loop sanding pads to save my life in any home-improvement store. I was quite happy to find these and especially with the value of the size and price of the pack. I was able to complete the removal of shellac off of the wardrobe much faster with this grit I love AMAZON!!

Perfect

I used this product to grind painted plaster off the surface of 120 year old brick. Multiple chemicals were tried before resorting to my 6 power sander with this 40 grit product. I wasnt concerned about smoothing the brick surface while removing the plaster. Lots of dust, and lots of discs, but all surface plaster is gone. I used acid to remove the plaster which embedded itself in the pores of the brick.

Bought these to sand old latex paint off barge rafters on the house and remove rust and scuff up chrome on a set of 16 chrome mod wheels for painting . Both projects involved sanding into corners against perpendicular surfaces. These papers held up well for that. Better than any name brand stuff for the money. I destroyed a six inch backer pad in the process, but that was a sacrifice I was willing to make. Would not recommend for finer work. I tried the 320 on another repainting project and found the 320 grit had some coarser grains in it that left a random deeper swirl than desire for repainting.

Good price; reasonably well made but probably not up to OEM standards.

fit my bosch sander and holds up well

Does what it needs to. Could be a bit more durable but for as many as you get for the price it hardly makes a difference. If you want to save some money with sanding this is a great budget product

Works well with my sander. Good quality.

You can find better- but they stick/hold up and cut well You might even find cheaper- But I doubt you will find a better value in this versatile range of grits for a bulk purchase. Glad I purchased these!

First: Ive bought different things sold under the Powertec brand, and while I generally stick to tools and supplies at the middle-to-higher end, I have no real complaints about Powertec as a brand. I usually buy Mirka and Makita sanding discs. Ive been through two boxes of this 40 grit paper: If you have an orbital sander with a rotary/aggressive mode, this stuff is AMAZING for removing coatings/paint and doing shaping/leveling work. But, about 1 in 10 sheets the felt/velcro/mesh material will separate from the paper within the first 15 seconds of sanding. The other sheets will last and last and last seemingly forever. I thought this was a fluke with the first box I bought, but the second box seems to have the same problem. It really seems like a quality control problem, as the performance sheet-to-sheet seems so wildly different. Ive not had this problem with any other paper. I can imagine that a traditional random-orbital sander might not have this problem. The paper randomly coming apart would normally warrant a one or two star review, but the price to performance ratio is really excellent for the pieces that dont come apart. Also, its not easy to find affordable 40 grit paper this size.
