Much cheaper than the typical DIY home store pricing, and if you have a large project like I did, you'll save big bucks. I just finished a 700 sq. ft. These are high quality disks that get the job done. tongue 'n groove ceiling project, and used multiple boxes/grits of the Mirka product.
most are OK. I have used a few brands of discs. There are better brands, but they tend to be about 75 cents a sheet. the stuff stays sharp. This is my third box of this stuff, and I don't see any reason to buy anything else. this is as good as any, and better then most. This stuff also beats the pants off the crud you get at HD too paper is nice and thick and holds up well.
These sanding discs are a great value, best disc I have found at this price. the hook & loop surface has great gripping strength, never had one come loose from sander. Seem to last as long or longer than much higher priced discs.
However, I don't see much difference between this brand and the Norton abrasives brand I can buy at Home Depot. I have used the 80 and 100 grit from the assortment pack and find them quite acceptable. I couldn't notice any appreciable difference between Nortons and Mirka's disc thickness. I disagree with one of the other reviewers that said Norton brand discs are thinner and ware out faster. I bought the assortment pack as well as 120 and 220 grits in preparation for refinishing my kithen cabinets. Packs of 50 are almost $10 in the store, Mirka are around $8 per 50 sold in 100 packs. The abrasive is aluminum oxide for both. Once you add shipping, unless you buy a large quantity, you're not saving anything.
Mirka sandpaper is a good value, with a large pack and quality product. Quantity is good size, and price is decent. Discs hold to hook and loop sander just fine.
