6 Inch 203343 Sanding Hook and Loop Pad for Festool Random Orbit Sanders Festool 150, ES 150, ETS 150, ETS Ec 150, WTS 150, 2 Pieces

These interface pads are designed to be used between your sanding pad and a mesh/net sanding disk made by many brands.I have switched to using Mirka and 3M sanding mesh exclusively and have been using a Festool interface pad for a couple of years. These pads are slightly thinner than the Festool ones, and appear to have a slightly stronger velcro on them.They seem to function well, and are a decent replacement for the Festool pads (although I am concerned that the stronger velcro might cause the sanding pad to wear out faster.).However, at the price point that these are sold at, they are at most $1-$2 cheaper than a set of the 203343 Granat Net Protection Pad interface pads. At that price, I am not sure why you would choose these over the Festool. This is one of those rare times when Festool is affordable, or the maker/seller of these is taking advantage of Festool's high prices.

I saw the Festool mention in the title of this item listing, but ordered it anyway assuming that with all the holes it'd work with my off-brand 6" orbital sander. I was wrong, the holes don't line up well at all for effective dust extraction, so I haven't used these and never will. Assuming you have the appropriate Festool sander it appears these would work well. The hook and loop has good grip and the price isn't bad.
