Last week, Craftsman started offering the new 4.5" Ryobi orbital sander
under the Craftsman name. But, there is one difference. (besides the color,
which is the Craftsman black) The Craftsman sander doesn't use Velcro disks,
it needs the standard sticky disks. Now here's the problem.
The folks at Sears insist on telling you that you can use the Ryobi disks.
That is, until you show them the Velcro. Then, they don't know where to
get the disks or even when they might start stocking them. I'm not trying
to bash Sears, because I really liked the sander. That is, until I ran
out of sand paper. (They include 3 disks with the sander)
Does anyone out there know where I might find 4.5" - 8 hole, sticky disks.
