Fein MultiMaster Sanding Finger Pads Hook and Loop

Comments about Fein MultiMaster Sanding Finger Pads Hook and Loop:

I had two of these finger sanders shed their bases. I was using 100 grit paper and sanding lightly in each case. Fein says they will provide replacements but they need to improve this item. The Fein and other attachments are an awesome tool otherwise.

Use the larger pads and cut or bend them to fit. You get more paper options and the paper will stay on.

This produce has now been on the market for at least three years. It is lousy. It is easy to ruin a [$] pad in just a few minutes. The defects are well outlined in other comments, and it is sad that Fein still had not fixed this badly designed product. I use it - but very carefully - no pressure - and not for too long a time. I pre-sand by hand or with other pads and reserve this for really tight places. But this is a rip-off. Base on the cost to mfg., and the short mtbf - it should be sold at $2.00 and let Fein make the profit in the expensive sanding sheets for the pad.

The adhesive holding the pad to the metal base fails after a short time if you allow any heat build up. Not a product you can use for hours of detailed sanding. I would suggest Fein take a careful look at this and consider a re-design. Wonderful for small detail work of limited duration.

This is not a heavy duty sanding attachment.
I used it to help sand the sole of my 40' Endeavour, for hard to reach spots, as well as bulkheads and louvers. Due to heat buildup, the velcro melts off causes the attachment to be unusable very quickly.
Use at slow speeds, don't push it hard, stop often for it to cool down.
If you own the multimaster its a good attachment to have, just understand its limitations.

The double sided sanding finger allowed me to use my MultiMaster to sand in some hard to reach places while preparing the underside of a wooden boat deck before painting. Unfortunately, the tip of the finger got hot and the velcro on the back of the finger and on the sand paper fused. As a result the finger would not hold the tip of sanding pads. I think this attachment is best used doing very light work.
