Hi Shane. I just purchased a new RO 150 to replace my old style Rotex.The reason for replacing it was the short life i was getting out of the sanding pads. Other than that it worked flawlessly. I work it pretty hard in rotary mode sanding timber frames and log cabins and the hooks melt off. So I was happy to hear about your new longer life cooler running pads. I waited a couple of months after hearing about the new pads to make sure I would receive one with the sander.I just received the sander and it has the old style pad. Is it possible to either be given a new pad or exchange the pad? I do not feel like spending $40 more and shipping after just spending $500 on the sander and don't really want to have to return the sander. Thanks Donald

Edit: Also, please note there are new product numbers for the 6" sanders to distinguish between Jetstream and the new Multi-Jetstream versions. The new pad version of the Rotex 150 FEQ is 571760.
