Can anyone tell me where to get more sanding pads for this tool as Lidl only sell the pack with extra blades as well. Daughter bought a similar pack from Aldi but the discs keep sliding off the tool while sanding so, obviously, I have to be careful about which ones I buy.
I have abused the backing pads in the past by applying too much pressure when sanding and the backing pads have probably become too hot. Once they have lost the Velcro type surface no sanding sheet, irrespective of the brand, will stick to them.
Shortly after destroying my backing pad I did see that the ALid/Lidl multitool tool-set did contain a replacement backing pad. It was complete rubbish and didn't last very long - and it wasn't abused too much.
I did find a suitable replacement at Saxton Blades which has lasted well.
As for sanding pads I've found the Bosch branded ones to be good but they are not cheapest. I purchased them in boxes of 50(?).
Consider also that if someone is putting too much pressure on the (sanding) tool when in use in order to remove, say, a thick layer of paint then maybe they are using a too fine grade of sanding sheet for the first pass of the tool. I've found that I use much more of a very coarse grit paper than I do with a finer grit.
