method Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 I picked up one of these about a month ago. Such an awesome tool however it is supplied with just the one hard backing pad. It's impossible to sand top coat with the supplied backing pad. An online search and reviews revealed that it is supplied overseas with two backing pads, one soft which looks to be like the backing pad supplied with all other drywall sanders and one hard for heavy sanding. Just a heads up for anyone looking to purchase, I've contacted dewalt and I am waiting on their response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingless Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Something like this DWE7801 soft backing pad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already tried to purchase from them but they do not ship to Australia. I might see if my porter cable backing pad will fit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingless Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Lots of companies show that pad as out of stock or unavailable. That shows as available at Lowes, a huge home improvement store. Maybe they will ship down under. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
