The Bottom Line
The Gator Finishing 5-inch Sanding Discs, made with premium Black Zirconium abrasives, are very durable sanding discs for use with 5-inch random orbital sanders and dual-action sanders. These sanding discs are designed to avoid clogging, and last longer than regular sandpaper.
In testing, the paper used for these sanding discs seems to hold up better than the average disc, and the abrasive didn't seem to become as depleted as quickly. The result is a sanding disc that lasts longer than the average and didn't require changing as often.

Guide Review - Gator Finishing 5-inch Sanding Discs
At the present time, it appears that these discs are only available in 5-inch with 8-hole patterns. While it would be nice to see other hole patterns and a 6" version available, I'd expect these should be available in time.
