SurfPrep pad savers, 3″ x 4″ with 6 holes
The backup pad on your sander costs more than a sheet of abrasive, so it pays to protect it. Pad savers sit in between the sander and any flat abrasives and take the wear, so the backup pad lasts longer.
They’re 3″ x 4″ with 6 holes that match the dust pattern. You don’t need them with foam abrasives, only with the flat sheets.
