3M Hookit Soft Interface Pad, 05777, 6 in x 1/2 in x 3/4 in, Foam, Hole Pattern, Finer Finish for Auto Body Sanding Applications, 1 Pad

3M once again deliverers a top notch product. In the automotive collision industry this is a top tier company where quality is concerned. Other interface pads don’t have the right density or durability that 3M provides. It’s a no brainer, top notch product from a top notch company.

It is what it is.. a soft pad to help provide some cushion between your sand paper and DA / sander. It def. helps with not taking too much material off of corners or high spots when sanding, but do keep in mind that you still should tape off corners/edges unless you really know what you're doing. I still managed to take paint off of an edge or two on accident, but that was my fault, not the interface pads. I was using 3M Trizact discs to sand out orange peel on a fender and door panel with this + a DA I hate how much 3M charges for their products, but ultimately this thing works and seems pretty tough.

I do some light auto body work at home and picked this up to go between my sander and the discs. Big difference. The foam gives just enough cushion to smooth out the curves and keeps the sanding pads from cutting too deep. It also seems to help the discs last a little longer. Good quality, sticks well, and holds up to regular use. If you do any sanding on uneven surfaces or just want a smoother finish, this is a great add-on at a reasonable price.

There were several reviews dissing this product I can tell you right now they are wrong wrong wrong! I own a 6' Porter Cable 7346 sander. Been a professional woodworker for 35 years. I so called retired 2 years ago but once a woodworker always a wood worker. I had two bed orders I need to finish this week. I usually use air sanders but being retired I sold most of my industrial stuff. I kept the Porter Cable sander and bought a regular hook and loop pad here on amazon. While I was sanding the first bed I though I better get a second pad just incase the first once punk out on me (I didn't want to be caught with my pants down.) I saw this product when I was ordering the back up pad. I said interesting and read some reviews and said what the heck its only $14. I got it the following day and it was a Miracle. It was a beautiful thing the sander stop bouncing in my hand and it was gliding over the wood surface like velvet. I was buzzing through both beds in no time. Halfway through my work I decided to order two more in case this one punk out on me. Its some kind sponge composite only 3M can dream up. Anything spinning thousands of RPM is going to tare eventually but since I didn't know what they give point is I thought I get some spares. Because of the reviews I was hesitant. The beds I was finishing were a total some of $8K. I could have going though 3 to 4 of these things and it would have still been my sanding saver. One last me through both jobs and probably good for another 2 to 4 before replacing it. The only conclusion for the bad reviews is operator error. Sanders are not to be used as grinders and to much pressure will tare anything up. The weight of the sander and light to mild hand pressure. Let he sander and the sand paper do the work. To much pressure will only tare of the product and the sand paper and the sander. I usually do not do reviews because of the bad reviews on this product are so misleading I thought I set the record straight. I have built and sanded thousand of product in my carer and in my opinion this product is a beautiful thing. Thank you 3m

Pad allows sandpaper or foam pads to flex

Nice sticky velcro and flexes nice to fit uneven surfaces. I use mine for wet sanding. Pretty much essential for final wet sanding before polishing.

It worked great for sanding small areas, with out worrying about digging in with the edge of the sandpaper.

The foam is still intact but one side is starting to ‘pinch’ together from taking it on and off the sanding disc

3M Quality

This is a great product, I just used it to sand my truck before painting and it really helped in the prep work.

Received 1 pc instead of 10 pcs .

Excelente opción para usar cuando es necesario preparar superfies donde la orbital de 6 pul no entra. Y también para usar con trizac 3m para lijar faros o marcos de puertas de autos es muy práctico y soporta muy bien la humedad y no se deforma.

Es una Interface de excelente calidad! Los orificios están bien definidos, estaría Perfecto que igual hubiera una de 5 pulgadas.
