Same issues as with the other customer, Hook pad short life, bad switch, etc. Came to site to look for replacement pad, and now must decide if it is worth it.
I had the same problem with the hook and loop, but switched to adhesive and have had good luck. I think it was worth the 25 or so bucks. I did just recently have a bearing go out, but found another one at a bearing store in my town for $8. Beats spending another $80 for a new sander. Why they keep making hook and loop sander pads I will never know, they are crap.

Not worth anything. Dust bag will not stay on,had a bad switch,a broken brush when bought and the hook and loop pad wears out too quickly.
It sounds like you have my sander.
I have the same issue(s) with my 5010
I came to this site to look for parts and now I wonder if I might just trash it and go for a new something else.
