Although this new one is perfect and is a dealt product, I was dissapointed that the original lost its ability to hold the sanding triangles in quite a short time.

Really important to note this review is not about the seller but the DeWalt sanding platen. I bought a new DeWalt multi-tool mainly for cutting floorboards and into dry wall for boxes, but it came with a sanding head and I thought that was great. Because the DeWalt has a powerful motor the sanding platen fitted with rough grade paper really got through most of what I was using it for. But then I started doing door frames and therefore had to put a lot of effort into the hard-to-get corners. On the second night of sanding, when I went to replace a sanding sheet, I found that I had melted one corner of the platen which I cursed myself for doing (this melted off the Velcro surface), thinking I had been too hard and aggressive when sanding. I ordered a new DeWalt plated and it arrived 2 days later. Fitted it and started sanding again. A few weeks later I did some more detailed sanding work and to my surprise, I melted another platen on exactly the same spot. This is the 3rd platen I'm on in a short space of time. When I compare it to my dedicated B&D sander with the same platen profile, I have never had any melting issues and I worked the B&D as hard as the DeWalt and over many years. So my only conclusion is the platens' are not high grade material, despite having the DeWalt brand. I did write to DeWalt but never received a reply to either of the two emails sent. So my advice for using the sander is - don't use it for corner or edge detailed work when the pressure is all on the front point of the platen.Read full review

A very usefull tool, neat, gets into small spaces & easy to use BUT heavy work will just melt the hooked surface very quickly. I have had to obtain this as a replacement. Keep the work light and buy a full size sander where full-on work is intended.

Fits my Bosch multitool perfectly. The velcro attachment works so well I can now use the discs until they're worn out instead of changing them every five minutes.
