Mirka Pad Protector 6 Inch 5 Pack, Hook & Loop Grip Sanding Pad Saver | Extends Sander Backing Pad Life, Optimizes Abrasive Disc Adhesion and Helps Reduce Wear and Replacement Costs

Don’t know why there aren’t any reviews so I’ll write the only one you need to read. Whether you’re a body man or detailer this is the real deal just buy it. I’ve been using the same ones for two years now the quality is there. Way less effort to remove buffing pads from your rupes, flex or whatever you use. No chunks of bondo in your dynabrade, Mirka, or whatever sanding DA you got just blow this one out. I didn’t notice any difference blocking with DA with this added

These were new to me, I read about them in some other review -- but they work well, and don't compromise the connection to the sander. Dust passes right through, at least with my Bosch. The pad will last much longer with this.

I was having to buy a new pad for my Bosch 6" random orbit sander over twice per year and they're not cheap. I love Abranet discs because of their life and superior dust collection but the hooks on the Velcro protrude slightly through the mesh and get worn during sanding and eventually they're unable to hold the sanding disc. This protector goes between the pad and the abrasive and becomes a much less expensive sacrificial piece. I didn't even know this product existed until I was in my local Woodcraft store and it came up in conversation with the employee there. Now, when the hooks eventually wear, I'll just slap on a new protector and keep sanding. I wish I had known about these years ago.

Holes overlap some with Rotex but not enough and leaves a lot of dust behind. The product is probably great for Mirka, but not for my use. I bought because the ones for Festool were back ordered and several weeks out

A must get if you use orbital sanders. I like how it saves wear amd tear the original backing pad so it lasts longer. Recommend to use with old pad but works better with a new backing pad.

I now have had the experience of using a Bosch 6" Random Orbit Sander with and without this product on two deck sanding jobs and one set of kitchen cabinets (probably 1200+ sq ft total) . Cabinets and 1st deck without I managed to ruin two or three different sanding pads and on my own deck using ONLY 1 pad protector with 0 loss of sanding pads. That alone has paid for itself. No problems removing velcro sanding paper and the pad protector never came off or took any heat damage that I can tell.

These things have some serious hold on the net disks really have to get the edge up and put some serious pull on it to get it off. not good or bad just an observation

If you're going to use mesh sandpaper this is a must have or you'll burn through the sanders velcro grip. I am using on with both of my Festool sanders and have been surprised how long they have lasted.

Ciertamente protegen tu lijadora del desgaste. Buena inversión

So my 6 inch pneumatic sander had a Peal and stick pad...this used the same thread as my Ingersoll Rand and looks like a pretty standard thread for these sanders... Mine came with an additional Velcro pad saver thing...it was installed before I got it... but my sander now has great dust collection. Recommend and not just for Mirka sanders...like any 6 inch sander could use this. The pad itself has the regular 6 hole pattern for standard hook and loop paper...and if you use a mesh like the 3M stuff...then it will pick up dust you other sander left behind...

Excelente...

Saves the original pads well.

Everybody should use these with their sander
