The Scotch-Brite Ultra Fine Pro Hand Pad 7448 combines durability for long life, flexibility for reaching tight areas, and can be used in place of steel wool for conditioning metal surfaces and paint prep. Unlike fine steel wool, Scotch-Brite pads will not shred during use, rust after use, or leave fine metal splinters.The durable open-web construction of the Scotch-Brite Ultra Fine Hand Pad is load resistant, offers long life and consistent abrasive action for cleaning, finishing and buffing with no need to adjust, turnover, or continue the same project with a new hand pad. The hand pad gets into corners and works detailed surfaces without altering the dimensions of the base material. The Scotch-Brite Ultra Fine Hand Pad can be used right out of the box by hand, paired with a hand pad block, or run on an in-line sander for faster completion on larger areas.Recommended applications include scuffing, cleaning and surface preparation.
