While using my orbital sander, I was having difficulty keeping the sandpaper from ripping where it attaches under the wire clamps. I remedied the problem by putting a piece of masking tape along the edge of the sandpaper before clamping it in place. The first piece I tried lasted longer than the three previous pieces combined.
