5-Inch 125mm Dual Action Hook-Loop Sanding Backing Pad

Brief Overview

This 5-inch (125mm) dual-action orbital sanding backing pad delivers reliable, consistent sanding performance for mid-scale finishing and preparation work. The hook-and-loop interface accepts standard abrasive discs, making it a practical addition to any shop's pneumatic sanding toolkit. If you're stocking backing pads across multiple sizes, consider pairing this with a larger 150mm variant to cover broader application ranges, or complement your inventory with a 125mm dual-action orbital sander to offer complete system solutions to your customers.

Key Features

• 5/16" Thread Mount: Direct compatibility with dual-action orbital sander spindles
• Hook-and-Loop Interface: Accepts standard adhesive-backed sanding discs for quick changes
• Yellow Foam Backing: Durable, resilient foam layer absorbs vibration and ensures even disc contact
• Maximum Operating Speed: 10,000 RPM rated for safe, controlled operation
• Metal Mounting Plate: Six-rivet construction provides secure attachment and centering
• Red Rubber Gasket: Precision-fitted spacer ensures proper disc alignment and pressure distribution

Business Advantages

For Resellers: This backing pad is an essential consumable-adjacent item for shops already running dual-action sanders. Unlike abrasive discs (which deplete quickly), backing pads have longer service life but require eventual replacement due to foam degradation and adhesive loss. Position this as a "must-stock" complementary product to boost order frequency and customer loyalty. The 5-inch size targets mid-scale automotive and cabinet finishing work—a high-volume segment with steady replacement demand.

Margin Opportunity: Backing pads are typically purchased in multiples; distributors who stock various sizes (125mm, 150mm) capture larger orders and reduce customer shopping elsewhere.

Why This Matters

Professional shops cycle through backing pads regularly. Once the foam begins to deteriorate or the hook-and-loop surface loses grip, abrasive discs won't seat properly and finish quality suffers. This pad's straightforward 5/16" mount fits the most common dual-action sander configurations, making replacement straightforward for end-users and predictable stock rotation for you.

Stock this pad in volume. Your customers will need multiple units to minimize downtime during replacement cycles.
