Serious Grit - 5-Inch 9-Hole Sanding Discs Assortment - 80, 120, 150, 180, 220 Grit (10 of Each) - Heavy-Duty Hook & Loop Velcro-Backed Film Discs - Sandpaper for Random Orbital Sanders - 50 Pack Box

These last a very long time and more important they are precisely cut so that the holes for dust collection line up and the disc is centered on the outside of the pad also. The big box store ones in red are sometimes off making the sander dance all over and pull.

I recently upgraded my sander to a 5 Festool ET-ESC as I finally got tired of the vibration and constant replacement of the sanding pad on my Makita. I do a lot of hand sanding and usually, I am holding a piece in one hand and the sander in the other. I am extremely rough on sandpaper and burn through it rather quickly. Ive used Diablo and Gator in the past as well as the Festool brand which I found to be far superior to the other two. I was in need of a lower grit to do some of the dirty work and based on the price I figured Id give this a shot. I almost exclusively sand hardwoods and used this paper for the first time yesterday on mahogany, walnut, cherry, Spanish cedar & maple and I was thoroughly impressed! The grit is extremely durable and chewed through the woods nicely. Again, Im not nice to sandpaper and one sheet of the armadillo performed better than I had expected lasting almost twice what I would normally expect. I hook my sander up to a shop vac and after use, the paper backing was still in excellent condition as was the grit on the paper even though there were several destroyed sections around the edges (which is based on my usage). I will certainly be picking up other grits as I need them. These discs and an excellent value...

Buy it. Its better than the red stuff.

Perfect for my festool and so much leas expensive

They seem to last longer than other brands and fits my new festool

Excellent value for money, works well.

Great value for the money

I would give it a 5 but I have to cut new holes in all the sheets (thy dont line up with my porter cable... Otherwise its gettin the job done.

Good product. I messed up ordering the nine hole as I have an 8 hole sander. So the dust collection doesnt work well as the holes dont line up. But that is my fault. I do like the quality of the sand paper and the longevity.

We use quite a bit of these abrasive discs, these we will stick to for our Festool sanders! Great for Epoxy Resin, and hardwoods.
