I am doing my final sanding on the cedar strip boat i am building..So i bought inexspensive 180grit after reading other reviews...as it turns out not only is it inexspensive, it is also cheap!!..I tried 3 sheets on my milwaukee orbital sander...and could not get any of them to stay on for over 30 seconds....so i don't know how long the abrasive would last...lol.. i went to the store and bought a 5 pack of the 3M hook and loop in 220 grit for about $3...I put one on the same sander and used it the rest of the afternoon !!!!! ever heard of the old story about you get what you pay for.....

For those of you in the other reviews, i think you would be amazed...side by side with the 3M paper, there is NO comparison..there is no doubt in my mind that the 5 3M sheets would outlast the 50 Mirka...but then i will never know as i am returning the Mirka.

Mirka 23-615-180 5" 8-Hole 180 Grit Dustless Hook & Loop Sanding Discs - 50 Pack

Great paper at a decent cost, stays sharp , doesn't clog easy. Used it in a commercial situation.

The Mirka brand of sanding disks were delivered promptly and in good condition. The abrasive disks appear to be good quality, and fit the standard hook and loop 5" sanders. I ordered some in several grit sizes and all seem to be of good quality. I have only used one grit size so far, but it performed well. The cost of the Mirka disks was lower that several other brands, so if the performance is equal they should be a very good buy. Since I haven't used them to any extent at present, I can't really comment on how they compare to other brands, time will tell.

These were purchased for my Bosch orbital sander. They work great, especially if one remembers to start and stop the sander when it is on the wood. Otherwise it could come flying off after some use; but when used diligently as directed, works great. So much better than anything I found at the Big Box stores, who never really have a wide selection of anything decent.

Pleased so far--not the heaviest paper but seems to give good service for the price. Use more sheets than discs with heavier backing paper, but I tend to try to keep using those too long after the grit is worn out.

For my random orbital sander. About 1/5 the price on Amazon in this quantity then buying them in 5 packs at Lowes/HD.

I just finished a 700 sq. ft. tongue 'n groove ceiling project, and used multiple boxes/grits of the Mirka product. Much cheaper than the typical DIY home store pricing, and if you have a large project like I did, you'll save big bucks. These are high quality disks that get the job done.

I bought three different grits and have used two of them. I feel the abrasive on the disk wears off to soon. They're cheap enough but you'll use twice as many. I expected more from a product made in Finland. The ones from Home Depot (Norton brand I think )last longer.

Excellent disk for general sanding...I have purchased several grits for furniture finishing and have found it to be worth the money.

You would be better served if you did your shopping on eBay. I've found this same item on eBay for half the price and "free Shipping" I just purchased one hundred discs for $14.00 and no shipping charges.
