repair is done and I have the tool back in service
the part was perfect, the quickness of processing was super. The cost of shipping was what really made me stop to think " Do I want to" Packaging weighed more then the part. But thanks for the service

Lever Broke

I thought I needed just one of the levers that holds the clamp down to keep the sand paper on the shoe. However, when I got the sander apart, I realized that I needed more parts. The parts that hold the shoe to the sander were all broken. So I went back and ordered those. Now, the whole sander works better than it ever did. Those parts holding the shoe must have been broken long before the lever was broken because it's like a different piece of equipment now.

I removed the sanding pad, placed the two levers in their correct positions and replaced the sanding pad. It was pretty straight forward and took a bit of patience.

The steel lever, which elevates the part which grips the sand paper on a palm sander, was broken. Insertion of the sand paper was virtually impossible.

Used two small screwdrivers to jimmy open the metal sand paper gripper and then simply slid the new lever into place. When completed , the new lever opens gripper so that sandpaper and be slid easily into place.
The replacement part was easily found from the parts listing on the eReplacementParts website.
