Extra Cushion for Precision Sanding
Used between a 3M™ Hookit™ Back-Up Pad and a 3M™ Hookit™ Abrasive Disc, our 3M™ Hookit™ Soft Interface Pad maximizes cushion and conformability during the auto body sanding process. The pad features soft yet durable 1/2-inch foam construction that allows technicians to maintain consistent abrasive contact when following contours and to sand closer to edges without burning through. It also reduces the vibration common when using a dual action orbital sander, increasing the clarity of the finish.The pad contains a pattern of uniquely designed holes which equalize air flow, providing outstanding air distribution across the entire disc. This allows dust to be pulled through and away from the disc and the sanding surface, improving the work environment and prolonging disc life.
Our Hookit™ Attachment System
Hook-and-loop style 3M™ Hookit™ Soft Interface Pads work as part of our Hookit™ system, which is ideal for work spaces where adhesive backed discs may become contaminated by dust, dirt, or flying debris. They are often used in applications favoring Hookit™ discs, which tend to leave finer finishes. The soft interface pad conveniently and firmly attaches between a hook-and-loop backup disc pad and an abrasive disc (sold separately) on a random orbital sander. It be removed cleanly and easily, and be used again and again.Extra Support for Superior Auto Body Sanding
3M™ Hookit™ Soft Interface Pads are another way that 3M adds to the science of successful automotive aftermarket operations. We have carefully developed these pads to perform during the collision repair sanding process, from improved airflow across the disc to better conformability to reduced vibration. Along with the quick-change attachment system, these pads provide superior support for your most effective sanding and professional, precise results.3M Hookit Model Benefits
The 3M Hookit Soft Interface Pad, model 05777, is designed to add support and cushion between abrasive discs and back-up pads. This brand and model ensure improved abrasive cut and closer edge sanding, making it ideal for precision work.
Used in auto body sanding, the 3M Hookit system allows quick changeouts and firm attachment. This model fits perfectly within the Hookit system, enhancing sanding efficiency and finish quality.
Precise Dimensions Matter
Measuring 6 x 1/2 x 3/4 inch, this pad’s size provides the right balance of cushion and conformability. The soft foam thickness helps maintain consistent abrasive contact on uneven surfaces for a finer finish.
These dimensions also allow the pad to reduce vibration from orbital sanding tools, improving control and the clarity of the final surface. The size is optimized for use with 3M Hookit back-up pads and discs.
Soft Foam Construction
The pad’s soft foam construction conforms to surface contours, which helps achieve smoother, more refined finishes. This softness also reduces vibration during sanding, making the process more comfortable and effective.
Its foam density is carefully chosen to add cushion without sacrificing durability. This balance supports better abrasive cut and consistent sanding results across complex shapes.
Hookit System Format
This product uses the Hookit attachment system, a hook-and-loop style that allows pads and discs to be changed quickly and cleanly. The system is perfect for environments where adhesive-backed discs might get contaminated.
The format ensures the pad can be reused multiple times, saving time and cost. It also supports finer finishes by securely holding abrasive discs during orbital sanding.
Pack Count Convenience
Each case contains 10 pads, providing enough supply for multiple projects or extended use. This pack size is convenient for professionals who need consistent quality and quantity on hand.
Having 10 pads per case ensures you can maintain workflow without frequent reordering. It’s a practical choice for auto body shops and sanding professionals using the 3M Hookit system.
