Enjoy the Ease and Speed of the 3M™ Hookit™ Attachment System
Simply press the abrasive sheet onto the 3M™Flexible Abrasive Hookit™ Foam Pad to get a secure grip, and then peel it away for easy removal. Hookit™ is the perfect time-saving answer when you're switching between abrasive grits frequently. Best of all, you can remove and reattach an abrasive that still has a useful service life. Let's say you need to switch to a different grit but the abrasives on the sheet you're currently using are not fully spent. Simply remove it and reattach later. Hookit™ ensures that you will get the same secure hold, which is an important advantage compared to pressure sensitive attachment products where the adhesive may become compromised after being removed.
