It features a one-piece threaded shank that reduces vibration and improves rotational balance during operation. The red foam construction provides reliable edge durability, making this pad well suited for coarse-grade sanding tasks and applications that require consistent surface leveling. It attaches to random orbital sanders equipped with a 5\/16-24 internal thread. Body technicians, painters, and finishing tradespeople use this pad when precision surface preparation demands a stable, low-profile platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis backup pad is primarily used in automotive refinishing, collision repair, and industrial finishing environments. It is appropriate for flat and near-flat panels where even material removal and good leveling performance are priorities. The low-profile design allows closer access to work surfaces compared to standard-height pads, which helps maintain control during aggressive coarse-grade passes. It is sold as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with 5-inch Hookit D\/F abrasive discs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed foam construction for enhanced edge durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne-piece threaded shank minimizes vibration and improves balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-profile design for closer surface contact and better leveling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits random orbital sanders with 5\/16-24 internal thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWell suited for coarse-grade material removal applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 5-inch Hookit D\/F discs on random orbital sanders featuring a 5\/16-24 internal thread attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by threading the pad shank directly into the sander spindle by hand until snug. Confirm the sander is powered off and unplugged before attaching or removing the pad. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threaded shank or sander spindle. Inspect the foam surface for wear or deformation before each use and replace the pad if the foam shows signs of deterioration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePad Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-24 external\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoam Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00051131058552\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7100042434\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"3M","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344119693618,"sku":"7100042434","price":49.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310531217.jpg?v=1782029821","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/3m-7100042434-hookit-d-f-low-profile-backup-pad","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
