Attach Holiday Lights to Steel Siding with Magnets

Porter Cable Model 333 Replace Sanding Pad
After allot of sanding the velcro sanding pads will no longer stick to my Porter Cable 333 sander. Embedded below is a quick video showing me replacing the sanding pad.
I usually replace my pads with the Porter Cable brand replacement pads, the link below will take you to Amazon’s page for the pads.
PORTER-CABLE 13904 5-Inch Hook and Loop Pad (for Model 333 Sander)
But this time I tried another pad from Amazon that was $5 cheaper, the link below will take you to that sanding pad.
Superior Electric RSP29 5 Inch Sander Pad – Hook and Loop Replaces Porter Cable OE # 13904 / 13909
I’ll post an update in a few months and let you know if I think the cheaper pad is as good as the one from Porter Cable.
