Re: General Discussions Reply #2445 – January 25, 2026, 11:18:07 pm Metabo and festool have the best (corded) orbital sanders, and potentially battery as well but havnt used the battery version.Backing pads (velcro bits) coming off is relatively common problem. My battery milwaukee one did it 6 months ago. Trying to get a replacement is a bit tricky as i have the older model. Even though they use the same size pads they've changed the hole locations and they dont line up. This is a common problem. Each manufacturer has their own individual way of doing things and most items are not compatible across brands. Obviously batteries are the obvious ones, but backing pads, vacuum hose fittings, there is a large list.Pick a brand and hope they are easy to get replacement parts and batteries for otherwise your system is dead before you get going.

Re: General Discussions Reply #2446 – Today at 12:05:00 pm Getting compatible fittings for my DeWalt compressor was a challenge. My nail gun/stapler looks clunky, but it works I mentioned previously that I have an adaptor that enables me to use DeWalt batteries on AEG tools. They look clunky too, and the balance is different, but they work and for a lot longer.I just stuffed the backing pad on my multi tool. It's a relatively new model and getting a replacement isn't a problem, just an additional expense. Memo to self; always use the correct tool for the job! Quote Selected
