Went into Lowes last night to buy a PC...$109. The 7336 comes with the white pad with an integral mounting stud. The sanding disc included with the 7336 is the flat smooth surfaced pad for self adhesived sanding discs....not a velcro backed pad. So, I went to a nearby Woodworker`s Supply store and bought the matching Porter Cable Velcro sanding plate for $19.95. Now I can also use the PC as a sander with adhesive sanding discs and not ruin my Velcro disc. Can`t wait to play with my new toy tonight. Got some DACP, SMR for dark, Meg`s beige and yellow pads, UPC and UPP....whoa baby!!:bounce

These aren`t really hardware stores. They are under various names across the country..ie: Rockler, Woodworker`s Supply, etc. They cater to the woodworkers among us.

I also got a 7336 from Lowe`s this weekend. (weekend trip to US) I`ll be ordering the velcro plate and pads from CMA though.
Very nice tool, can`t wait to get to use it.

I received my PC last week. Ordered it from Coastal Tool, $119.99 plus you get a 6" velcro backing plate and the 6" counter weight "free". I felt this was the best deal going. I live close enough to them that it only took one day (CT to MA) to get it via standard UPS shipping! I ordered a yellow and white pad from CMA along with the 4" backing plate and a yellow and white 4" pad. A Blackfire PolyClay kit and some Autoglym glass polish and I`m ready. Looks like rain for the upcoming long weekend. I`ll be in the garage trying out the new stuff!

There`s a Lowe`s in Plattsburgh. I got the 7336 for $109 (145$ CDN). If you ever take a weekend trip down south, definately go there. It`s only about 1h15 from Montreal. There are a whole bunch of stores like WalMart, K-Mart, Autozone right there aa well...we`re definately missing out on a lot of stuff up here.
I spent 2 days around the Burlington area and I gotta say it was an amazing weekend. :up
Tomorrow I`m going to CMax in Laval to pick up a velcro backing plate and some Meguiar`s pads.

Well, then Plattsburgh for sure. We have gone to Burlington the two trips we have made since we bought a car. Thanks.

I also purchased 7336 from lowe`s but I had only one sanding paper which I dont care but they suppose to have total of 4,5 sanding paper. I exchanged but all the box has only one sanding paper. well I talked to them about this and they gave me those pads separately, but did it include all the papers? just curiuos :)

They are quite the same, since they use the same exact body. The difference lies in the accessories that comes with it.
The 7336 - includes a backing plate and 2 or 3 adhesive sanding pads, a wrench and a 6 in. counter weight.
The 7424 - only comes with the white polishing pad, wrench and if im not mistaken a 6 in counter weight too.
Also to add, the 7335, 7335sp and 7336sp also uses the same body as the 7336 and 7424. Again, difference would be in the accessories.
