Synopsis: If your sanding discs are flying off your sander, you may need to replace the hooks on your sander's back-up pad.
Why are my hook and loop sanding discs flying off my sander?
 
Discover a simple solution with a Hook & Loop Converter to refurbish your sander's hook and loop system.
 
If you are experiencing issues with your sanding discs not sticking to your sander, it's likely because the hooks on your sander's back-up pad are worn out. These hooks, which hold the loop backing of the sandpaper discs, can soften and melt over time due to the heat generated during constant sanding. As a result, their ability to grip and secure the sanding discs diminishes, causing them to fly or fall off the sander during use. 

Instead of replacing the entire back-up pad, a cost-effective and convenient alternative is to replace just the hook section of your sander's back-up pad. We offer a hook and loop converter that allows you to easily refurbish your sander's hook system.  To learn how to apply the converter, refer to our guide on Applying Hook and Loop Converter
