Everything you need in a premium diamond hand-pad for concrete countertops:
- High concentration of diamonds for faster cutting and longer life
- Narrow gradation of diamonds for a better surface quality
- Ideal binder for long life; won’t flake off like many inferior pads
- Made with electroplated diamonds overcoated with resin for better life
- Can be used wet or dry
- Color coded foam backing pad makes grit identification easy and permanent
Our foam-backed design offers 3 important benefits that make these hand-pads outstanding performance and excellent value for the money:
- Color-coded foam makes grit identification easy, even when the pad is old and dirty.
- Foam backing protects the diamonds from flaking off, resulting in longer life. Other thin, hook-and-loop style diamond-faced sheets crack, wear unevenly, and their black hook-and-loop backing makes grit identification difficult or impossible after the sheet has been used for some time.
- Our block-shaped foam backing is both functional and ergonomic: use it as a squeegee while hand-honing, or use it as a sanding block when hand-sanding with wet/dry sandpaper. Plus, it is easy to cut the foam down to make a thin, flexible hand-pad for honing tight curves.

- Use the 400 to supplement 5" diamond pads in spots where you can't reach with a machine.

Why choose these hand pads?
We designed these diamond resin polishing pads and diamond hand pads specifically for the concrete countertop industry.

They're designed and tested by CCI, the most knowledgeable and experienced force in the concrete countertop industry.
