The 3M Hookit Back-up Pad 05717 is a professional-grade backing pad engineered for sanding, surface preparation, and finishing tasks that demand consistency and control. Designed with a 7-inch diameter and medium-density foam, this pad delivers the right balance of firmness and flexibility, allowing users to achieve smooth, even results across both flat and curved surfaces. Because of its stable construction, it helps reduce vibration and improves tool handling, which leads to cleaner finishes and greater comfort during extended use.

Featuring a durable 5/8-11 internal thread, the pad attaches quickly and securely to most standard sanders and polishers. This strong connection enhances tool stability and prevents unwanted wobbling, ensuring predictable performance with every pass. The 3/4-inch thickness also contributes to improved heat resistance, helping prevent surface damage and extending the life of both the pad and the abrasive discs.

The Hookit attachment system allows fast and effortless disc changes, making it ideal for workflows that require switching between multiple sanding grits. Instead of dealing with adhesive-backed discs, users can instantly remove and replace abrasives, reducing downtime and increasing productivity. This makes the pad especially effective in multi-stage refinishing processes such as paint prep, feather edging, blending, and polishing.

Because the foam absorbs pressure evenly, it reduces the risk of gouging and creates consistent contact across the work surface. This improves the overall finish quality and helps users achieve a more refined, professional look with fewer imperfections. The lightweight design also helps minimize fatigue, making it easier to maintain precision and control during long tasks.

Built for durability, the 3M Hookit Back-up Pad 05717 withstands heavy shop use and maintains its performance across repeated sanding cycles. Whether you’re working on automotive panels, refinishing projects, or general surface correction, this pad provides the reliability, strength, and ease of use needed for superior results.
