My old Bosch seems to have stripped the threads that hold the sanding pad. Motor still works but the pad  can't be attached. I've had it for many years, so it's time to replace it with another Bosch. Just ordered the Bosch 3.3 Amp 3725 DEVS. Wish me luck. Since travel to the local Lowes is being restricted by corona, I ordered it from Amazon.  Bosch reduced the price by $20.00. I didn't know that until I went to check out. 

I have a Dewalt and have replaced the pad once, and the bag once.  Only odd thing about it is the switch, kinda quirky at times.  Like you when it dies I will get a new one.  

Stuck with Bosch because of the quality, but since I have probably 100 or more 8 hole sanding discs to fit the Bosch, it makes sense.
