Sanders - h&l vs psa

[ryans69chevy]

Whats everyone using for sanding pads? PSA or hook and loop? I have a 5" electric dewalt random orbital sander with a PSA pad on it. I've ran out of my boxes of psa discs. They last a few years from the amount I buy. When I went to buy more, I found i can purchase a new pad for it and change to a hook and loop system.

I've struggled at times with the disc's not sticking. I change disc's to get a different grit on from time to time as well so once I change, the existing disc is now done.

I use my orbital for just about everything - wood working, and bodywork and all that. I've thought about buying a DA as well for my compressor so I was hoping if I did that, to just have one style of disc's.

Thanks for any advice
