 Fein's credibility at risk June 16, 2008
Glen R. Schwalbach
It is difficult to comprehend Fein providing sanding pads and paper which are so useless. I have had the sandpaper/pads melt in sanding just a 3/4" X 2" area. Both the felt on the paper and the Velcro on the pad melted. I went through 20 sheets of paper to sand a close-quartered area. Whereas my B & D Megamouse did a 4-foot X 4-foot area with just one sheet. Both on the same project.
 Fein H/L pad is a very poor product March 11, 2007

As others have said here, these pads are P*ss poor. 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. 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.
Fein velcro sanding pad - how to use this necessary evil April 8, 2006

The velcro is the weak element of these pads. But of course it's the velcro that makes the pads, which are otherwise well made, so convenient. You can easily destroy one of these expensive things in minutes-- while thinking how cautious you're being. So resign yourself. There's a way to avoid it, but it takes care and control:
Let the tool and unworn sandpapers do the work. Do NOT bear down.
Avoid using the tips if you can use the edges, avoid using the edges if you can use the whole surface (This is obvious, but keep repeating it to yourself).
Invest in sandpapers of the graded grits that span the needs of your projects; in use, resist skipping grades; they exist for good reason.
Rotate the tips (and yep, the edges will follow) frequently, BEFORE they are worn. Heat build-up can damage the pad underneath long before the paper is done for. Rotating allows you to inspect the pad (and paper) while letting it cool some. If possible, use two different sides or edges by shifting your grip.
A note on the sandpaper: If you are sanding painted surfaces, especially at corners and joints, the paper will clog quickly, and more so if you are not using coarse enough grit; so, inspect several times per minute. Frequent use of a small wire brush can help unclog the paper. And repeat, "Rotate".
Tell yourself that despite the high cost of pads and sandpaper it's still worth it-- if you follow best practices -- in time saved, work reduced and results. improved.

I use my Fein Multitool for detail sanding for the most part so these sanding pads are indespensible. I love everything about the tool save for these. They wear out almost imediately. The problem is heat build-up at the corners. The hooks and substrate are plastic, with little resistance to heat. I've tried using less pressure and frequent paper changes (which does help a little) but the fact remains that these velco sanding pads are the weak link in an otherwise stellar system. I'll still use the tool because it's great, and I'll still buy these pads because there's no alternative, but I'll piss and moan about the fact that one must buy about as many of these expensive things as the paper that goes on them!
