Is this hook? or is it loop? In other words, is this smooth? I need the rough side on the pad so my sandpaper will stick.

I think "hook and loop" is just a fancy way of saying "velcro". And this is velcro, so you would have to have another velcro based pad for it to stick to. It is not smooth.

The bottom of it is vinyl with random lines,paper sander sticks good to it.

The hook has a nylon insert in one end. The insert has a ⅜" ID to accept the ⅜" bolt that goes thru it. My S hooks are installed so I can't measure the OD of the insert (which fits into the ID of the S hook). I doubt that it is 1". This hook kit is really meant to be bolted onto a flat surface.

Neither I'm afraid. The Silicone is actually quite hard with only a minimal give to it. I do find that the with of the silicone is better when compared to using the regular generic hooks, as my hand isn't cramping from all the use. Hope this is a helpful answer.

If you are talking about the sand paper staying on pad, they do stay on very well. If you are talking about the hook and loop piece that is attached to the sanding pad, it does tend to peel on the edges. I don't have any reference with the Porter Cable one but i suspect they all use an adhesive to attach the hook and loop to the rubber and that will fail on the edges with all the oscillation. Does the Porter Cable come completely unglued or just at the edges?

The hook & loop is the sandpaper type u use for the sander. the sandpaper is like velcro that just sticks to the sander. this is a very nice sander

It simply has a loop on each end. You will need hooks or something similar to attach it. Hope this helps.

Yes, the hook is curved. It doesn't stick out too much. Imagine a suction cup that you would stick to a window and hang little trinkets off of. It is much like that, but they can hold something that is a lot heavier.

The hook itself is very strong; I use one for a large beach towel and the other for two heavy terry robes. I think the issue is what surface you'll attach the hook, it would be fine if the backing it very sturdy.

No. You can leave the hook and loop pad on and use the regular sandpaper. I would recommend purchasing a punch plate to be able to use your shopvac with the regular sandpaper.

No. There is "hook" on one side and "loop" on the other. You should get Velcro with industrial strength adhesive if you want the Velcro to be sticky on one side. You may want to visit a Home Depot or Lowes to see the options and then come back to Amazon to get the better price. The adhesive Velcro has limitations. I tried to used the sticky Velcro on cloth and it did not hold up. You may have to get Velcro without the sticky side and use epoxy to attach the Velcro permanently.

Yes, but you might not see it if you are not looking for it. It is on the bottom right side if you have the screen facing you. It looks like it would only accommodate a smaller loop in it. Probably not a hook. Look at the fourth picture. There are two triangles at the bottom side. That is it.

My tub is smooth but it seems to me that the pad needs to have a lot of surface to grab onto. If you put it on a textured surface, I think it might not stay down as long. I have discovered that you need to keep it clean: soap scum makes it less non-skid.

It is a hook and loop pad, and will work with pretty much all hook and loop sanding discs at your local home improvement store.

The hook and loop is the system used to hold the sandpaper to the sander. It's much like velcro. My complaint about this tool turns out to be unwarranted because upon closer inspection, the sandpaper actually separated leaving the hook and loop system intact. Of course giving me the impression that the sander would no longer attach to sandpaper. Once I figured out what happened, I had already ordered a replacement disk which is now stored in the bag with my sander--in case I ever need to replace it. I love this tool. I makes my attempt to be a carpenter/woodworker much easier. Unfortunately, I'm only fair at what I attempt but is certainly isn't this tool's fault. Highly recommend purchasing this.

This is the hook end. The material on the buffing pad will attach to this (Velcro type)

it is not smooth, there's a slight bit of texture to it similar to medium to fine grit sandpaper. Hope that helps!
