I have a black and decker Random orbit sander model Bder0600 that has the hook and loop detaching from the pad.
I tried cyanoacrylate type glue to get it back together and that has failed multiple times.
I tried the local Lowe’s and neither of the Dewalt pads they sell fits.
Checked online and the replacement is about $20 with shipping or higher.
A replacement sander is only $27 from Amazon or $30 at Lowe’s (down to $27 with veterans discount)
I hate to throw away an otherwise functional sander but if parts are that expensive then it’s almost not worth repairing.
Lowe’s also sells a glue kit with new Velcro but I’m not taking that chance for $16.
Searching through the questions on other sanding pads on Amazon reveals that there is a ryobi pad that fits for $15/pair.
I have ordered those and will see if they fit.
