🪚 Astro Pneumatic Tool 4607 5 Inch PU Hook and Loop Backing Pad Review

When used with Chemical Guys Buffing Pads, the Velcro will separate from the backing pad in approximately 5 hours. Chemical Guys Hexlogic pads have very strong Velcro and require significant force to detach from the support pad. (2-3x the effort it takes to take the hook off and look at the sandpaper or abranet) Is this an Astro issue or a mismatch with the Chemical Guys bars? I do not know. But I will buy two pads so I can have one as a backup. There's nothing quite like getting down to the…

Worked great at first but not for long. Velcro melted from the center outwards, only the outer 25% with velcro remained. I'm not sure if this was just an accident or a sign of faulty construction. It worked great on my Harbor Freight (Chicago Electric) DA Polisher for a total of 6-8 hours of work divided into 3-4 times over several months. In these cases, it was never used for more than 10 minutes at a time. I contacted customer service (the number is on the box) after the velcro melted and…

If, like me, you recently bought a Porter Cable Orbital Buffer, you know there's no way for the PC to attach multiple standoffs to your new buffer. This is exactly what you need to solve your problem. It has a Velcro fastener that can be attached to almost any standard Velcro pad. Simply tighten the set screw on your PC to securely attach the ASTRO and you're done! Put any lining with velcro on top. Tip: ASTRO comes with a small black plastic ring. If your backing pad rubs slightly against the…

The base plate worked great initially but I have had it for about 6 months and have used it on 4 cars and 80% of the velcro pattern has broken in the middle of the plate as the plate rubbed it completely smooth. Last weekend he kept throwing pillows at me. I wouldn't recommend spending the extra $5 and buying a reputable brand baseplate, it's not worth the potential headache this thing can cause. F reached out to me and let me take a behind-the-scenes look at her changes. She did everything…

The perfect complement to Harbor Freight Dual Action Polisher. I bought a cheap fake porter cable from Harbor Freight (it works great even after heavy use, by the way). I also picked up some Harbor Freight Pads. Using the standard backing plate that came with the HF block caused the HF pads to tear apart fairly quickly. The problem was that the base plate spanned the entire width of the pad, while the Velcro portion of the pad was only about 5 inches long. Pads, as a result of which the foam is

I wanted to fix my black car paint job. I spent 2-3 weeks on the subject and decided to buy a Harbor Freight DA polishing machine (Poter Cable Style). I've seen several people complain about the backing pad that came with the HF polisher. I ordered this before I bought the polisher but tried the polisher with a Harbor Freight backing pad and a 6" HF foam pad just to see how it performs. My pillow was damaged after 2-3 minutes of use! Back with my new Astro from Revain and now the pads last…
