i suppose you could use a old valve to make a long reach one

Is it Velcro or is it hook and loop fastening material ? I was once given a long and detailed explanation of the difference by a man in a shop who seemed to me to have an all too unhealthy interest in securing methods. Velcro is a trade name was enough for me really.. We use a little DA sander that takes those discs.
