Dura Gold Sandpaper Finishing Woodworking Automotive Reviews Summary

Adhesion and Durability

Pros:

• "These sanding discs worked as well or better than anything else I have ever used and they do call me Sandy sometimes."
• "The pad on my sander is getting warn, so the fact that these were able to hold on seems like a good sign to me."
• "Just make sure that you line the holes up... I didn’t have any issues with them falling off either."
• "These work great and fit my standard hook/loop orbital sander."
• "The hook and loop backing hold very strongly to my sander."
• "The disks fit my 8-hole DeWalt orbital sander perfectly."
• "The hook and loop (Velcro) attachment system is flawless and tough enough to remove and reuse the sanding discs multiple times."

Cons:

• "The product works well however it stops sticking very quickly and nothing I do will prolong this."
• "Couldn't sand at higher revs as the hook and loop backing on the disc's would break down and render them useless."
• "The Dura Gold hook and loop paper didn't seem to grab the pad of the Makita ROS I used it with."
• "These discs would not stay attached to the 'hooks' on my palm sander."
• "The velcro side won’t stay on the sander long enough."
• "The discs fall off the sander before the grit is even halfway gone."
• "These things literally fall off my Dewalt palm sander after probably no more than 5 minutes running time."

Quality and Performance

Pros:

• "I am blown away by the quality of these sanding discs!... They are SO aggressive and strong."
• "It leaves a great surface for stain."
• "These sanding disc are holding up real good."
• "Job went much faster with this sanding disk."
• "These are exactly what i needed for my Ryobi orbital sander. A lot cheaper than buying them from lowes or home depot."
• "Very very tough grit material that can really do the job."
• "These are excellent quality and very durable."

Cons:

• "I ordered 3 different grits, got 3 random grits I didn't order and don’t need."
• "This product is 3x more costly than others yet fails to perform in a manner that one should expect for that premium price."
• "The 400 grit is about the same as other's 320 grit. No big deal, it's just not quite as fine."

Value and Cost-Effectiveness

Pros:

• "Way better than gator brand at big box stores for way less money."
• "This is great sandpaper. Price is more than fair, and it beats going to the big box store only to find out they're out of what you need!"
• "These cost a lot less per piece that what they sell in the big box store, last about as long or longer and cut just as well."
• "HANDS DOWN THE BEST SANDPAPER EVER!"
• "I wish I had look for these on Amazon a long time ago because there are so much less expensive buying a box of 50 with different grits then buying the small packs from the big box store."
