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

great

Great for the price

I would not recommend these sanding discs, the hook & lock backing does not stay on for long. It slides right off the sander after a couple minutes of sanding.

Bought 2 boxes and one was missing all the 120 grit discs. They were replaced with other grits. Unfortunately the 120s are pretty important to me.

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.

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

Work good

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.

I get a lot of use out of each disc. Im working with very dry fir so they dont load up with pitch, they just loose their abrasiveness eventually. I still keep them for finer sanding.

Low price, great quality, and fit perfectly.
