3M 7000045011 Hook Saver Disc Pad Protector 5in X 3/4in

Product Description

The 3M 7000045011 is a hook saver disc pad protector designed to extend the service life of Hookit disc pads in clean sanding applications. It attaches directly to a new Hookit disc pad, acting as a sacrificial layer that absorbs wear in place of the more expensive pad underneath. The protector measures 5 inches in diameter and 3/4 inches in thickness, and features 31 holes that align precisely with the 31-hole pattern on the Hookit Clean Sanding Disc Pad for unobstructed dust extraction. Sanding technicians, auto body professionals, and finishing tradespeople install this device as a cost-effective consumable during surface prep work.

This hook saver is used in conjunction with the Hookit Disc Pad in clean sanding setups, including bodywork, paint prep, and finish sanding applications where disc pad longevity is a concern. It serves as an inexpensive consumable that absorbs hook wear during repeated disc changes, reducing overall tooling cost in high-volume sanding operations. Suitable for both shop and field environments where Hookit-style random orbital sanders are in regular use.

Key Features

• 31-hole pattern aligns with the Hookit Clean Sanding Disc Pad for full dust extraction performance
• Sacrificial design protects more expensive Hookit disc pad hooks from premature wear
• Low-cost consumable intended to be replaced regularly rather than preserved
• Compatible with PN20206 Hookit Clean Sanding Disc Pad (BUP configuration)
• Lightweight construction at 0.03 pounds per unit

Compatibility

Designed for use with the PN20206 Hookit Clean Sanding Disc Pad (BUP). The 31-hole layout matches the hole pattern on the PN20206 for proper fitment and dust flow alignment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sanding technicians or auto body professionals as part of disc pad setup. Attach the hook saver to the Hookit disc pad before mounting sanding discs, ensuring hole patterns are aligned for proper dust extraction. Power down and disconnect the sander from its power source before installing or changing any pad components. Replace the hook saver when wear is visible rather than attempting to reuse it, as it is intended as a consumable device.
