3M Xtract Disc Pad Hook Saver 20446 6 Inch 52 Hole Backup Pad Protector

The 3M Xtract Disc Pad Hook Saver is designed to extend the service life of hook-and-loop sanding backup pads by protecting the pad hooks from wear and damage during sanding operations. Positioned between the sanding disc and backing pad, it acts as a sacrificial interface layer, reducing wear on expensive backing pads while maintaining secure disc attachment.

Featuring a 52-hole dust extraction pattern, the Hook Saver maintains airflow efficiency when used with compatible 3M Xtract sanding systems and dust extraction equipment. This helps preserve dust extraction performance while protecting the backing pad from repeated disc changes and aggressive workshop use.

Ideal for automotive refinishing, collision repair, woodworking, composite fabrication and industrial sanding applications, the 3M Xtract Hook Saver is a simple and cost-effective way to reduce consumable costs and maximise backing pad life.
