Given the reputation for quality Bosch has, I'm really surprised you had
the problem with three blades. They may have all been from the same
batch. Makes me wonder if something was missed in the heat treating of
that batch.

I generally like Bosch tools but I have a palm sander that has never held the
paper. It's particularly bad with 220 paper.

Don't be fooled into thinking that everything that a reputable company
markets is great, I would suspect that even Festool has some stinkers.

Like their price sheet? ;-)
