I get the best service using the Fein brand pads and sandpaper.
When longevity is considered the money is the same, maybe even better with the Fein products vs the cheapo versions.
I am using the cheap felt back sandpaper pads for hand sanding so it doesn’t hit the trash can with zero ROI.
The cheap hook pads did get tossed in the trash and I considered that good riddance.
