Task-Tuned Abrasive Kits
Sell curated kits that include the X-LOCK Clip for Backing Pad, a compatible backing pad, and discs tailored to specific tasks (weld blending, woodworking finish prep, auto detailing). Add a grit progression card and QR‑linked how‑to videos for an easy upsell online or in stores.
Fab Shop Changeover Optimization
Consult for small fabrication shops to implement color‑coded abrasive racks, standard pad stacks, and quick‑swap SOPs using the lever‑release clip. Quantify minutes saved per part, reduce lost hardware, and package it as a lean workflow upgrade with recurring consumables supply.
Rental/Contractor Add‑On Pack
Create a labeled case with the X-LOCK clip, backing pad, and common abrasives to rent or sell alongside X‑LOCK grinders. Faster changes (audible snap on) and no loose flange nuts mean fewer support calls and higher customer satisfaction—charge as a daily add‑on or pro bundle.
Pop‑Up Polishing Booth
Run a market or event booth offering while‑you‑wait finishing on small metal art, jewelry, and stone coasters. The quick‑change clip speeds turnaround and becomes part of the demo. Sell custom finishes, on‑site workshops, and take-home care kits.

Snap-and-Sand Finishing Station
Build a compact bench station with your angle grinder, a row of color‑coded abrasive discs, and a small dust hood. Use the X-LOCK Clip for Backing Pad to snap through grit progressions tool‑free (audible snap on, lever to release) so you can move from shaping to fine finishing in seconds on furniture parts, frames, or metalwork.
Texture Lab Panels
Create a series of mixed‑media art panels on metal or hardwood by rapidly swapping sanding, blending, and polishing pads. The quick, lever‑release allows you to layer brushed, cross‑hatched, and mirror textures in one session, capturing your favorite recipes for future artwork.
Glossy Stone Coasters
Cut small stone or concrete tiles and bring them to a satin or glossy finish by stepping through diamond and polishing pads. The tool‑free X-LOCK clip lets you keep momentum without a spanner wrench, producing consistent sets you can gift or sell.
Char-and-Brush Accent Boards
Make dramatic wall or shelf accents by lightly charring reclaimed wood, then quickly alternating between wire brush, sanding, and conditioning pads to reveal grain. The fast swaps help control heat and texture, giving a refined, tactile finish.
Sculpted Bowl Sanding Workflow
After rough carving a wooden bowl or tray, use soft backing pads with multiple grits to refine curves. The X-LOCK Clip’s snap‑on/lever‑off action keeps the process fluid, delivering a smooth surface ready for oil or wax.
