I like all Diablo products and the sandpaper is no different. I do notice that if the wood is really rough it’s best to start with 60 grit and work your way up

Most Diablo products are of good quality and their sandpaper is no different whenever the bulk pack is available I get it. It lasts long and smoothes out all the rough spots on any board.

Disappointing for the Diablo brand
I’ve had excellent success with Diablo saw blades, 6” to 12” and every router bit has performed as expected or better. Now for my first Diablo disappointment. I’ve used Norton ProSand 5” & 6” hook and loop sanding discs for several years with great satisfaction. When I went to my local supplier to restock, I found they had discontinued handling them. Thought this would be a good time to try Diablos 5” ceramic blend discs. Had a Norton 80 grit disc in my sander, used that for a bit then decided to switch to a new Diablo 80 grit. Worked well for about 10 minutes, it drastically slowed removing material, checked it and the disc was coming apart, literally. Thought maybe it was a fluke, bad disc, put on another, same thing. Decided to finish with the Norton, the previously used Norton disc did as much as 2 new Diablos and didn’t disintegrate. Diablos granules quickly fell off, the backer tore and the disc became unusable. Extremely disappointed given Diablo has been so reliable with so many other products. Please see my attached pics.

    Diablo has just entered another home category
    I had bought the 50 pack 120 grit because I do woodwork which requires a lot of sanding & you could not beat the price. In the pack there was these washable reusable sanding pads skeptical to use it on the mahogany I just set them aside. Well today after a few hours of scraping adhesive off of concrete I wondered how those Diablo sanding pads would do with my sander, they were phenomenal!!! No chemicals, presoaking the floor w/ vinegar & dawn

      The disc made the job of refinishing several outdoor chairs easy to apply the paint. Without the disc the job would have taken several hours; having the disc helped to reduce the time to roughly an hour. The finish was smooth to the touch.

          The Back cloth Velcro pile tore Apart
          I used these a couple years back and didn’t have a problem. We bought 2 big packs recently and the back of the disks with the hook N pile or Velcro cloth was so thin it tore to shreds after 3-5 minutes of use. I went through several disc until I just bought a different brand. The maker must be going cheap on the material.

            Particles Coming Off
            A few sanding discs worked fine but then i started getting swirls in my wood. I switched to several other new discs and i noticed small red particles were coming off before even using it. Needless to say this is what was causing the swirls in my table. This sandpaper would work for sanding surfaces that swirls don't matter but not my application.

              I stripped and entire living room floor using these on a hand sander. that is right, I crawled on my side over an entire floor sanding it with a palm sander because it was face nailed and I wanted to do it that way. I did not have a single bad disc in the 50 pack, every one held well to the sander and lasted a reasonable amount of area. I was able to remove a painted on "rug" with just four discs, see photos. I can't say much about paper loading because I used a Dustopper to keep the dust down and I believe that prevented me from loading the paper. Not like I have a lot of choice at the Depot, but I will use this brand again. Once I got my disc changing rhythm down the job went really well.

              Backing came off the sand paper
              Just barely started using this, several minutes at most, when the sand paper seperated from the backing (which stayed firmly attached to the sander). Worthless!

                As pro carpenter, my new go to
                I used to use the purple disks from 3m even before HD carried them here. I would get them at my local paint shop. I was paying over $1.20/sheet, but they were excellent. The product was changed and is not that good anymore. I tried the Diablo disks as an alternative. I find the quality to be comparable to what the purple ones now offer, but Diablo 50pk exceeds by far in value. This is particularly noticeable when working with sticky surfaces (stripping paint, sanding epoxies). Diablo is now my go to sanding product.

                  Diablo 5” sandpaper is great, I get better use from these then other brands. One disc will last longer then using 2-3 disc’s of some other brands, this is why I use Diablo for all my sanding and cutting needs.

                  Excellent for dust collection.
                  These are great 5" sanding disks. There's a more perforation through disk which helps increase dust collection considerably. Plus the fact the cost for a 15pack order I find it economically.

                  Not good
                  I have been using Diablo sanding discs for the past couple of years. While working on a timber frame I used up my last package. I was stunned after trying this package. I can barely get through 3- 1X2X1 pine boards and the backing starts to peeling so bad I have to replace the disc. I contacted Diablo to see if they could send another package. It's been 2 months and they haven't replied. So I am guessing they aren't going to reply. I have some older packages of 150 and 220 discs from a couple of years ago and they work great. Something must have changed at Diablo so I will look somewhere else.

                    Not sticking well with Sander
                    Bought 15 packs to use with new Dewalt sander. The back locker did not work well and can only last several min. before fail to lock on back. All the fiber strip off from disk completely and clog my new sander lock plate.

                      I swear by this brand! For quailty and price. I used this on my Ryobi orbital sander and i was able to sand down the wood for this project with one pad.

                      Absolutely LOVE Diablo sand paper and these sanding disks make light work of any project, we used the 220 grit to finish a live-edge table and seriously i couldn't believe how easy it was! I paired it with my Ryobi Orbital Sander and it worked great!!! I have found the 15 pack to get me through ANY project I work on (cabinetry, tables, shelves and other general carpentry) and I am sure if you buy the larger packs you might even save more! Seriously Diablo knows what they are doing! I also use their router bits and am blown away! Also the holes that are cutout for your tool's built in vacuum always line up perfectly. And I only saw wear to the sanding pad after at-least 25-30 mins of pure sanding!

                      Terrible Discs
                      Avoid. These things fall apart real quick. I was using another brand disc that was getting a bit dull. I put on the Diablo disc and it started peeling and shedding abrasive material almost immediately. With all the work I am doing a 5-pack of the other brand will last longer and give better results than this ... stuff. See the picture the gray disc had been used for over one hour, the Diablo disc less than 10-minutes. Sanding maple and poplar. The shedded abrasive causing scratching and gouging of my board and now more work to do. Junk!
