"Free" Benchmark flap disc promotion

[dragoneggs]

They are an assortment,, but, they are wrapped in two packages.

You can look at the edge of the packs and see the different grits, the "flaps" are different sizes for the different grits.

Okay I tore apart the two packs and strange but yes, 3ea 40grit, 60grit, and 80grit, and 1ea 120grit. Upon further inspection, I am impressed! I measured the sandpaper pad thickness and compared with my Walter and HF discs and was surprised at the numbers! The HF and Walter discs measured 0.279in while the Benchmark discs measured out at 0.370in. Seeing this, I would suspect them to also be longer lasting.



I definitely want to see if I can order more at a buck a piece, heck of a deal... maybe in my wife's name! :ashamed:

Used one today -- Worked VERY well and held up great. I will order more in the future when the need arises.

Just ordered another pack along with some 7in grinding discs. Got the same deal on the flap discs... just have to use a different email address. Same ship address okay.

How in the world can someone sell these flap disc for a dollar a piece and stay in business? I know it's a loss leader but my word.

A local small grill 3 miles from my house sold hot dogs for $1 a piece. That lasted about 6 months. Folks were getting 1/2 dozen at a time. They eventually had to go to a buck fifty.

I guess they make it up in other sales.

All good points. It made me wonder about the size of the company.....this was a post made by Benchmark Abrasives owner, Jack Vogel. Benchmark Abrasives - #1 Source for Cutting, Sanding & Grinding Abrasives : promos

That's what they were advertised as on the product page linked in the first post here:

This pack contains the following mix:

40 Grit - 3 pieces
60 Grit - 3 pieces
80 Grit - 3 pieces
120 Grit - 1 piece

Wife's e-mail address should work.
I have ordered a total of 4 (already received 3) shipped to wife, self, and both sons.
Shipping address apparently does not matter, but e-mail address does matter.
A different e-mail address was necessary for each order, to get the FREEMIX offer.
Used my own/same credit card for all 4 orders.

For those of you thinking about ordering (who would need to think about this?), I am wondering if this offer might expire at the end of the year ...2 more days only?

Thanks for letting me know about this, been looking for a supplier for flap disk. Just ordered my 3rd freemix deal (yes it's still active as of 1/1/19.

Also got a thank you message with 10% off next order in the next 2 weeks.

I tried some out yesterday and was happy with the performance but it was only light deburring with the 120, the real test will be knocking down welds with the 40.
Quality looks good though, I have some German and usa made disk and these seem comparable to them, they are made in China though.
