Miady 5-Inch 8-Hole Hook and Loop Sanding Discs 70PCS, 40/80/120/240/320/600/800 Assorted Grits Sandpaper for Aluminum - Pack of 70

I've had an orbital sander for about 2 years now, and I've just been buying new pads from Harbor Freight the whole time. I knew about these packs of pads on Amazon for quite a while but I was hesitant to actually try them because of how dramatically cheaper they are. Well I finally tried them out, and it's absurd how good these are for the price. I slapped a 40 grit pad on my sander and went at it for about an hour, and the pad was still practically in "new" condition when I was done. I've tried one of every grit besides 800, and all of them are holding up and staying attached to my sander really well. There's really not much else to say about them... they're sanding pads. But, they are a phenomenal deal, work very well, seem to be very durable, and stay attached to the sander. I'll be buying more of these in a few years once I've finally run out of the 70 pads in this pack :)

The sanding discs were great. They did not fall apart, nor slip off of the pad, except when starting off with a lot of torque on the sander. in that situation I'm not sure if it was the sanding pad or the sanding discs that lost adhesion but given this was my first go-round with an orbital sander it could just be a operator error. Starting off with a reasonable ramp up in speed I had absolutely no problems with these discs. Best value for these on Amazon that I found.

I've only used the 120 and 220 grit pads but so far, they're marginally OK, especially considering the cost. I had a couple of pads that wouldn't adhere at all to my sander and a couple that come loose while sanding but after resticking, were useable. I'm using a Porter Cable random orbit with a new OEM pad so there's not an issue with the sander pad. My other brand sandpaper had no issues. For those that didn't stick, I used them for hand sanding.I used these side by side with Porter Cable (PC) brand pads for comparison. The PC pads had no adherence issue and were noticeably harder to remove that these even after long usage. The PC pads lasted slightly longer but not by much. No discernable difference in the sanding quality.The ventilation holes also didn't line up exactly with the PC pad. I'm not sure if that's due to the new sander pad or the sandpaper but thought I'd note it. There's enough overlap you get some dust collection but not as much as the PC brand paper. Either way, the sanding capability was not affected.Since there's a lot of sandpaper for the cost, the adherence issue is not a big deal for my use around the house. In a commercial application, that may be a bigger concern. If you just need one or two of the included grits, it's probably more cost effective to purchase exactly what you need. I do a lot of woodworking and will use them all. Depending on how the adherence issues continue will determine if I buy these again.

Using the Miady 5-Inch 8-Hole Hook and Loop Sanding Discs has made my DIY projects much more efficient. The variety of grits included in this pack is fantastic, catering to different stages of sanding from rough to fine.What I appreciate most is how well the discs adhere to my sander. They stay in place during use, which means I don't have to stop frequently to reattach them. The hook and loop system is secure yet makes changing grits quick and easy, allowing me to maintain a smooth workflow.The performance of these sanding discs is impressive. The coarser grits do a great job on tougher surfaces like aluminum, while the finer grits provide a smooth finish that is perfect for preparing surfaces for painting or staining.One aspect I was slightly concerned about was durability, but these discs hold up really well. Even after substantial use, they maintain their abrasive qualities without clogging up or wearing down too quickly.If there’s one minor thing, it's that the very fine grits (600 and 800) can wear out faster on rougher materials. However, this is expected and having multiple discs in the pack ensures I always have spares on hand.These Miady sanding discs have truly enhanced my sanding projects. From prepping aluminum surfaces to finishing wooden pieces, they deliver consistent and reliable results every time.

Have used them a few times so far and they are great, easy to put on the sander and does a great job.

Couldn't believe how affordable these were, almost suspicious, but bought anyways bc I was burning thru discs and sandpaper like crazy as I learned how to do auto body work.Bondo mistakes, over and over and over ... really adds up.That said, was pleasantly surprised when I received.Not only was grit grade accurate, but discs were long-lasting & hook and loop (velcro) backing sturdy enough to stay put entire time.Overall I was very pleased with both price and quality, and highly recommend to anyone seeking an affordable price on larger quantity of sanding discs.

They attach well to my sander. Great value for the price

I purchased this product a couple of years ago. It took me a while to get enough use out of it to actually write a review. I’ve been doing a lot of woodworking lately and a friend loaned me some Diablo sandpaper that I used at the same time as this sandpaper. The Diablo out performed this by a long shot. This grit seems to not have a good cutting edge or is coated with an adhesive and it doesn’t cut nearly as well as the Diablo. It takes a lot more effort than it should to get a good finish using this sandpaper.
