I got the same sander. I have worn out most of the sanding sleeves that
came with it. Never a problem.

My 14.4 v screwdriver / drill is my 1st choice for most needs of a
driver. Been going strong for over 4 years.

Ryobi makes good quality stuff for excellent price for the hobbyist.

The certainly are, I got their oscillating spindle sander from HD. It sat unopened in my shop for maybe 6 months before I even opened the box(caught it on sale). When I finally fired it up it ran maybe 5 minutes before making the loudest screeching noise, like a dry bearing, before I shut it down. It will now run a few seconds before repeating the noise. No place to oil it and it claims no serviceable parts. Am I suppose to throw it away. I will not be buying more ryobi stuff. I do have a corded drill, with clutched chuck, that still works great tho.
