They are very good for stripping. I do go over them with 80 grit afterward as they seem to have a tendency to "polish" the surface some. The 3M ones are nice but like everything 3M they are expensive. Here is an alternative that I have been using, work just as well as the 3M ones at a fraction of the cost. They last just as long too. I have been very happy with them. Especially when you consider a bag of the ones you posted a pic of cost well over a $100 bucks.Certain areas though the 3M ones that you use a mandrel with work really good. The Rolocs do pretty much the same though.
These are for a 5/8" arbor

Same company also makes a roloc version as well.

Just to reiterate, these aren't cheap HF crap. They work and they last.
