3M 7000028401 Hand Sanding Pad 1.25 Inches Psa

Product Description

The 3M 7000028401 is a dual-face hand sanding pad designed for manual finishing work on automotive and industrial surfaces. Measuring 1.25 inches in diameter, the pad accepts PSA (pressure-sensitive adhesive) sanding discs on both ends. One face is firm, providing the rigidity needed for leveling surface defects. The opposite face features a soft black vinyl surface that produces a finer, more refined finish. At 0.1 pounds, the pad is lightweight enough for extended hand sanding sessions. Finishing technicians and body shop professionals reach for this tool when machine sanding is not practical for a given area or contour.

This pad is suited for detail sanding on contoured or recessed surfaces where a larger backing pad would bridge the work area and reduce contact. The firm face handles cut and defect removal passes, while the soft vinyl face transitions the surface toward a finish-ready condition. Both faces accept standard 1.25-inch PSA sanding discs, allowing the technician to change abrasive grades without swapping pads. Typical applications include paint correction, clear coat leveling, and spot repair preparation in automotive refinishing environments.

Key Features

• Dual-face design: firm side for defect leveling, soft black vinyl side for finer finishing
• Both ends accept PSA sanding discs, eliminating the need for a second pad
• 1.25-inch diameter fits tight contours and recessed panel areas
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during extended use
• Red rubber body construction provides grip and controlled flex

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1.25-inch PSA sanding discs in hand sanding applications. No specific system or model compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

This pad is a hand-held finishing tool and does not require mechanical installation. Before attaching a PSA disc, ensure the pad face is clean and free of debris to achieve full adhesive contact. When switching between the firm and soft faces, remove and discard the used disc from the previous face before applying a new disc to the other side. Use appropriate respiratory protection and eye protection when sanding painted or coated surfaces per applicable safety guidelines.
