RAD Pads Pro | SurfPrep Revolutionary Abrasive Design Hand Sanding Pads 

Professional RAD Pads Pro hand sanding pads in four grits. Made in the USA. Available in packs of 8 and 20. Trusted by finishing professionals across the U.S., Canada, and the UK for hand sanding in areas power tools cannot reach. 

What Are RAD Pads Pro? 

RAD stands for Revolutionary Abrasive Design. RAD Pads Pro are foam-backed hand sanding pads for precision sanding in hard-to-reach areas where power tools are not practical. They have the same award-winning foam abrasive technology used in SurfPrep's AWFS Visionary Award-winning products, but adapted for hand sanding applications.  

Each RAD sanding pad measures 5.5" x 4.5" x 3/16" thick and is designed to conform to the surface, not cut across it flat. This results in persistent abrasive contact on contours, edges, profiles, and tight locations where a rigid sanding block or power tool would lose contact or cause damage, made in the USA. 

Key Benefits 

  • Foam-backed abrasive technology: Same open-cell foam platform as SurfPrep’s award-winning AWFS abrasives, adapted for hand use  
  • Flexible and conformable: conforms to curves, profiles, edges, and curved surfaces without losing abrasive contact.  
  • Abrasive life up to 2x longer than Klingspor and 3M equivalents at comparable grits, verified by customers. 
  • Cuts more aggressively than rated. SurfPrep grits cut more aggressively than rival equivalents at the same grit classification.  
  • Easy to clean and reuse: The foam backing on each RAD sanding pad can be cleaned between uses and lasts through several sanding sessions.  
  • Available in packs of 8 and 20: Individual grits and variety sanding pads are available in both pack sizes.
