MIRKA 2-3/4" X 8" PAD PROTECTOR (9138)

The 56-hole pattern pulls dust away just as well as the day I got it, and my backing pad hasn’t picked up a single gouge after a full week of heavy sanding. It’s a cheap little piece of insurance that’s already paid for itself.

Been using this on my orbital sander for a few weeks now, and the 56-hole pattern really does keep dust collection consistent without clogging up. The hook-and-loop backing feels more secure than the cheap protectors I've tried.

The hook-and-loop backing grabs my sanding discs securely, and it’s already saved the sander’s pad from gouging on a sharp edge. No dust clogging, either—the holes really pull the debris away.
