Questions and Answers for DIABLO 5 in. 120-Grit Hook and Lock ROS Sanding Discs

A:  Yes, I use them on my Ryobi cordless orbital sander.

A:  Definitely the 120 grit!  I have done whole houses where we needed to knock-down the old paint.  Even the 120 will ‘load up’ pretty fast……definitely wouldn’t go 220.

A:  120 grit. Latex paint will gum up on the pad so you'll have to scrap off the paint if it gets too chunky.

A:  Interesting… these are the only type I use with my DEWALT cordless palm sander and I have never had an issue. It could be the hook and lock system on your sander has failed in a way that does not allow the pads to stay tight to the sander. I would examine your tool base to see how far it has deteriorated. I know the DEWALT model has replacement parts available

A:  Your question sounds more like a review, perhaps you are confused as to how questions and reviews work.
