Gator 2226 Sanding Disc Backing Pad 2 Inches

Product Description

The GATOR 2226 is a 2-inch sanding disc backing pad designed to support finishing discs and grinding discs with screw backing. It mounts to die grinders and electric drills, providing a stable interface between the tool and the abrasive disc. Weighing 0.11 pounds, the pad is lightweight and suited for detail work, surface prep, and finishing tasks. It is typically installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade professionals who need a compact, reliable backing surface for small-diameter abrasive discs in tight or confined work areas.

This backing pad is intended for use with 2-inch finishing discs and grinding discs that feature screw-style attachment. It is well suited for residential and light commercial applications where a die grinder or electric drill is the primary tool. Common use scenarios include deburring pipe ends, surface preparation on metal fittings, and finish grinding in areas where larger tools cannot reach.
