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

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.

Good product and at a great price

great

Proper pad sandpaper for the sander used. Hooked application (velcro type)

Works well with my sander. Good quality.

Hold up very well and great price. Stick on great.

I use discs like this on curved surfaces mostly, and these tend to disintegrate easily. They might be better on flat wood.

Love these sanders!!

paper dosent stay long on machine piece of junk

Great for the price
