5 Inch 8 Hole Hook and Loop Replacement Sander Pad for Craftsman 315112170, 315116940, 315116950, 315112180, 315279870 Random Orbit Sanders

I lent out my sander when i got it back the hook and loop was off center. This was a 5 minute fix. It fit perfectly.

this was easy to install. Just remove 4 screws to take off the old pad and use them to add this more substantial one. The hook and loop works perfectly with the disks I bought. There is one caveat for using this with my B&D BDERO 100. The original pad is glued to a backing plate that fits into a collar. This product does not have the proper profile to slide into the collar. So you have to pry the backing plate off the old pad and use it as a shim when installing this one. Took about 5 min with a chisel to get it off.

Fits my older sander perfectly

Couldn’t find craftsman parts. Was so happy, it fit perfectly.

Junk Chinese .Right Not

Worked great on my old hand sander.

Finding anything in Amazon using Amazons search is a frustrating experience with a barrage of marketing incorrect products. I eventually rolled the dice and bought this product for my Craftsman Random Orbital Sander 315.116040 (see first three original parts photos) Be aware, this product **does not fit** the 315.116040 without modification. I didnt buy tools for show so I DIYd the sander pad by drilling the holes out to be ovals using the same diameter drill bit and using the side of the drill bit but to lengthen each hole radially outwards, very carefully. Each hole is roughly 1.5x long by 1.0x wide (do not widen!). Then I attached it to the Craftsman sander without issue. For the money I paid for this ($7.79) it was not worth my time to return the part. Based upon the immediate need, it was worth the time to try and modify, which worked out nicely this time.

Everything fit

Purchased to replace the pad on my hyper tough orbital sander. The holes didn’t line up. Had to drill the into an oval to fit. And had to drill four extra holes to mount on orbital. Once installed it worked as it should.
