Good 5" interface pad.
These interface pads in general are great for finish sanding, especially of curved surfaces.<br />Easier on both the hands and the sandpaper.<br /><br />These particular pads seem to be pretty good quality, with good hook & loop fasteners on both the hook and loop sides.<br />The foam is comparable to similar pads from other manufacturers, not quite as dense as 3M pads.<br />And if they're like the rest, they won't last as long as 3M pads, none of the knock-offs do.<br />But that doesn't mean they aren't a good value, particularly if you're going to abuse them anyway, as we do.<br /><br />The most common failure is separation of the foam and the hook/loop layer.<br />Don't just yank the paper off the pad, or the pad off the sander, get your fingers in the gap and peel them apart to minimize strain on the foam.<br />Also use them primarily for fine grits and let the sander do the work. Bear down on one of these with coarse paper and it will heat up and crumble in short order.
