3M Roloc or hooknloop? (1 Viewer)

[Dale Sr]

For scotch brites and small sanding discs, which do you prefer; the 3M style Roloc or the hook n loop? The Rolocs seem like the price has gone up dramatically the last month.

Roloc or similar seemed to work better for me...

There are a bunch of brands 3M, Standard Abrasive, Norton, Merit and private labeled generics, buy the type best supported in your area. The screw on types work best, the Velcro doesn't hold securely enough, when it flies off the arbor is damaged, costing a new one.

I prefer the screw in type, I use them with very high speed angle head air operated equip, I would not trust the velcro to hold it.

I've had good luck with the 3M roloc disks as well, there are a few suppliers online that sell them for ok prices.

I like Roloc too. I found a body shop supplier here in Houston that sells them to me by the box pretty cheap.

big fan of roloc, but a little to rich for my college student blood so I use a lot of hardware store die grinder attachments.

My vote's for the screw in roloc. I found good prices here:

and usually buy by the box of 25 and 50.

What's also neat are the radial bristle brushes to replace wire wheels. I've got them in different sizes for the die grinder and the bench grinder. No more flying wire bristles! Even found itty bitty ones for the dremel
