Sanding & Polishing Hand Pads
From non-abrasive basic cleaning to aggressive stripping, hand pads are great to use on those hard-to-reach areas or when extra care is needed. The non-woven abrasive pads feature synthetic fibre impregnated with silicon carbide or aluminum oxide grain. They are designed to prevent snagging and tearing, and will not rust or oxidate. All sanding and polishing pads are washable, reusable, and most pads can be used with solvents or detergents. AFT offers hand pads ranging from non-abrasive to coarse for a wide range of applications. Shop our selection of sanding and finishing hand pads or contact us to request a quote.
