This is a genuine Makita replacement part, it is sold individually. The 423142-7 Sponge pad can be used on either of the tools below. If you would like to use this pad rather then the Hook and Loop or Felt pad, you can peel those pads off of the base and adhere the sponge pad to the base.

2. Cleaned old base and reapplied screws.
3. Installed new rubber base on old discontinued model.
