My Fein Multimaster is a wonderful tool. In fact, I usually purchase Fein's sandpaper, but if I have to use a large quantity, I sometimes purchase other paper and cut to fit the sanding pad. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Having said that, the sanding pad (with loops) wears out fairly quickly and like many of the Fein accessory attachments, it's much too expensive.
Sandpaper arrived in good condition and packed very well. Saved a lot buying from this company.
This is the factory replacement for the sanding pad on the Fein Multimaster Q Edition. As good as this tool is, it certainly has its limitations, and this is one of them. For speed and efficiency of sanding, most users probably use the highest speed setting. And doing that will melt the edges of the pad and it's velcro surface.
Whereas my B & D Megamouse did a 4-foot X 4-foot area with just one sheet. I have had the sandpaper/pads melt in sanding just a 3/4" X 2" area. It is difficult to comprehend Fein providing sanding pads and paper which are so useless. Both the felt on the paper and the Velcro on the pad melted. Both on the same project. I went through 20 sheets of paper to sand a close-quartered area.
As others have said here, these pads are P*ss poor. But I sure wish they would beef up this H/L pad I'd like to know if other brands of pads are just as bad. With all the negative reports, you'd think Fein would get a clue. The sander itself is excellent and some of the other accessories are top notch.
