My project involved sanding my deck so I could refinish it and I tried just about every brand of sanding belts possible. I first tried Norton's brand with only a couple sanding belts, I wore these out and then tried three different brands that were slightly cheaper in price, not by much though, and found out what is in a name. I went through about 2 to 3 times the number of belts in the same amount of space. I highly recommend Norton brand sanding belts, they may cost a little more but they last a lot longer.... thus saving you time and money in the long run...

These belts cut faster, clog less and last far longer than the common aluminum oxide ones do. I will not be going back.

I've used my belt sander more than 10 years and have tried so many kinds of sanding belts. Considering many factors this is the best one so far. Price is a little higher than other local brands but it's far worth of spending the extra.

It lasts very long, longer than any other brands, and take the material out real fast. Not sure it's 3 times faster than others as shown in the ad, but I'm sure it's definitely faster. And another good thing is when I do sending for a while(10-20 minutes), most belts get heated up and lose the tightness. As a result, when the belt is hot, almost no material is sanded out. But this belt maintains fai amout of stiffness, the efficiency does not drop much.

Sometimes I grind hard materials like ceramic tiles, granite, glass with this belt, it's working very well too.

My one complain is when sanding a little bit of gunky material like varnish or paint, belt is easily clogged and very hard to remove the clogged stuff. I wish manufacturer sells 10 or 20 pack to reduce the price.

More expensive belt may do better, but considering price and quality, this is the best so far.

This is the best sand belt so far I've used past 4 years on my Makita 3" belt sander. It removes material fast and last long. I've tried many other brand but this is the winner. Another good point is it does not leave sand mark on the wood surface. So all I need is just do finish sanding with 220- or 400-grit palm sander.

This is not cheap but worth the money.

Highly recommended.

Product delivered as described. The grit on the sandpaper doesn't last as long as it should. The adhesive where the belt ends join together is very poor and the belt end seam comes apart too easily.

Actually I try to buy the purple 3M belts when I can, but Norton is certainly top quality and is just a slight notch below the purple belts. I have a floor sander and Norton is all I will use on it, you certainly will not be disappointed.

held up to the work i did on my deck.

no defects / no problems

not much else to say.

The description says '3X 3" x 21" 120 Grit Sanding Belt - 5 Pack'

This tells me that a pack has 5 items but that for the cost there are 3 packs.. ie, 3X .. This is not correct. You only get 1 pack.

Product itself is good, but misleading on the quantity.
