• Low profile firm density foam and blunt 35 degree tapered edge provide durability and an aggressive cut
• One piece threaded shank for low vibration and improved balance

3M Xtract Hookit Low Profile Back-up Pads are firm yet flexible to provide versatility for flat sanding applications and are designed to securely hold a 3M Xtract Hookit Disc on a random orbital sander (sold separately). Part of the 3M Xtract Series, designed for optimal dust removal, , enabling a vacuum to extract dust off the workpiece to prolong disc life and enhance productivity. Use this back-up pad with coarse grades where good leveling is needed. For Aggressive Flat Sanding Constructed from firm density foam with a 35-degree blunt tapered edge for added durability, our 3M Xtract(TM) Hookit(TM) Low Profile Back-up Pads are ideal for aggressive flat sanding operations. Science of Dust Management Our proprietary multi-hole pattern works with a vacuum to help eliminate dust from the disc, workpiece and air. Sandpaper discs cut better and last longer when dust isn’t loading the cutting surface of the abrasives. Reducing dust is easier than ever with 3M Xtract Discs, designed for optimal dust removal. For maximum dust extraction, use this disc with a 3M Xtract Hookit Back-up pad and a random orbital sander with vacuum (both sold separately). Our proprietary multi-hole pattern on 3M Xtract(TM) products removes dust at a higher rate than 5- or 6-hole products. This hole design doesn't even require alignment of holes with the back-up pad (which is attached to a random orbital sander and sold separately), making disc changes quick and simple. The 3M Hookit attachment system uses a hook and loop design that makes disc changes fast and easy. All of this adds up to improved productivity and reduced material consumption. Reducing dust dramatically increases the cutting efficiency and life of the disc, which ultimately reduces operating costs. Focus on the Task at Hand with Hookit(TM) Attachment Whether your job requires a random orbital or rotary sander, buffer, grinder, drill, finishing sander or other power tool, 3M™ Hookit™ products allow you to focus more on the task and less on tooling. Hookit(TM) abrasive products with our hook-and-loop backing are manufactured with loop material that mates to a backup pad (sold separately) where tiny hooks firmly engage the loops. Attachment is quick, easy, and secure during use. Sanding, finishing, and surface conditioning products with the 3M(TM) Hookit(TM) attachment and removal system gives you an efficient way to work through multi-step finishing processes and can be used again and again for the life of the abrasive.

Trusted 3M Xtract Model

The 3M Xtract Low Profile Back-up Pad, model 20356, is designed to deliver reliable performance with its proprietary multi-hole pattern. This feature helps provide superior dust extraction, which keeps the work environment cleaner and boosts productivity.

Using the 3M Xtract system means less dust loading on discs, which extends their life and maintains cutting efficiency. This model is part of the 3M Xtract Series, known for optimal dust removal during sanding tasks.

Precise Dimensions Included

This back-up pad measures 6 inches in diameter, with a thickness of 3/8 inch and a 5/16 inch-24 external thread. These exact dimensions ensure compatibility with many random orbital sanders and provide a stable sanding surface.

The 52-hole design supports effective dust extraction, making it easier to maintain a clean workpiece. The size and hole count work together to maximize dust removal and sanding efficiency.

Durable Foam Backing

Constructed with red foam of firm density, this pad offers durability and flexibility for flat sanding applications. The low profile and blunt 35-degree tapered edge help provide an aggressive cut while maintaining pad longevity.

This design is ideal for coarse grades where good leveling is needed. The foam backing supports consistent sanding results and helps reduce vibration during use.

Hookit Attachment System

The 3M Hookit attachment system allows for quick and easy disc changes. Its hook-and-loop design securely holds 3M Xtract Hookit Discs, optimizing disc life and minimizing downtime during sanding jobs.

This system works well with various power tools, including random orbital sanders, buffers, and grinders. It helps users focus on the task without worrying about disc attachment issues.

Convenient Pack Size

This product comes in a case of 10 pads, providing enough supply for multiple projects or extended use. The pack size supports cost-effective purchasing and ensures you have backups ready when needed.

Having 10 pads on hand reduces the need for frequent reordering and helps maintain workflow continuity. The case packaging also protects the pads during storage and transport.
