Walter Surface Technologies 15D044 Backing Pad Assembly - 4 ½ in. Sanding Disc Pad. Abrasive Wheel Pads

The Walter Surface Technologies backing pad is the best backing pad I have owned/used in over 40 years of using backing pads on side grinders. Buy it. BUY IT NOW.

This is the second one I bought. I had to replace the first one due to a mishap, nothing wrong with it from the factory but it became damaged. It's pretty well made, but I wish it was a bit sturdier to handle the tough conditions and high torque of an angle grinder. Overall, I'm satisfied.

Super good last long time

Didn’t last 5 minutes sanding fiberglass. POS!

Milwaukee makes a good angle grinder but the nut holding the disc, prevents you from using anything but the outer 3/4'' of the abrasive disc. The Walter pad has a low profile nut allowing use of most of the disc's face. The nut is made of a cheap aluminum / zinc alloy, I don't expect it to live very long. If the nut were made of heat treated steel, and really fit the pin style spanner, then this would be great !

I use it almost every day they work perfect

Just what I was looking for. Arrived fast, good quality, good price. Should last a long time. Would buy again.

Flexible not stiff like the dewalt ones. Good for decking and fine stuff.

Works Great Good Quality!

J’aurais crue avoir un disque en rubber mais c’est correct quand même

Sturdy, would buy again

Pratique et solide

Not much to say if you know Walter products. I completely missed that it was 4.5” though. I searched for 5” and this one popped up so I purchased it not noticing it was only 4.5”. I’ll make it work
