Today's reality for me is: When you want 600 but pick up 60 by mistake it makes a mess!
I need to take all of the 60 out of my sanding tray!

I asked Vince re the RedFlex. Here’s his detailed answer:
The red flex discs are more aggressive than any other disc I've carried. When I say more aggressive I believe that the granules are larger which gives it a different sort of bite. I would not use both the red flex for one grit and the blue flags for another great bouncing back-and-forth I don't think that that would be a good recipe for success. I would use one brand or the other. What I'll do today is add a sample pack as an option for purchase of the red flex which will provide one disc from 80 grit to 800 allowing one to get a sampling of the discs to purchase with their order if they would so choose too. To answer your question directly... The red flags discs cut will they last as long but they seem to be a larger grain which offers a different sort of bite. If that makes sense. I hope that answers your question. As always feel free to give me a call at 877-284-8969 I'll be happy to discuss anything you need and as always let me know how I can help you. I'll try to get that sample pack put on the website later today thank you again. Vince
