Sioux angle drill

Another forum I visit (non-woodturning) runs on the same software as this one. When clicking on the Forum button and before clicking the "new posts" button, the forum shows a title and link to a "Featured post". Some of these are quite recent, some are from the past.

I don't know if these are hand-picked by an admin or picked algorithmically. Often I ignore them but sometimes one catches my eye and I am drawn into reading something I may not have seen otherwise and, yikes!, learning something. Horrors! The "Featured post" feature is not "in your face" but simply there for your consideration. I like it.

If you will PM me info on the forum, I’m not shy about asking them. I’m not aware of that being an autonomous feature. I already have a full plate and really don’t need any extra work, but maybe I could catch a volunteer in a weak moment.
 
I started out using a cordless Dewalt 20 volt drill, and eventually went away from it. It didn't seem to have enough low-end torque, and I eventually wore it out. I am currently using a Dewalt corded variable speed drill. I like the keyless Chuck, but I seldom use the check because a hex adapter lives on the drill full time. The shafts for my two and three inch sanding pads are all hex. You can change in seconds.

Where are you finding the quick attach hex shaft sanding pads at a reasonable price? I was thinking I'd go that route instead of the roloc ones from woodwonders but I started checking into getting them for every grit and changed my mind.
