        there is a replacement for almost every switch out there (unless you have some old 1960s ham radio linear amp.)

        on the other hand, you have to remove the switch and carry it around to find the replacement.

        when you do, get a spare. it insures you will never have a switch fail again.

        True !! I had a Milwaukee years back with a trigger that failed. Tracked down a replacement {$40} or so, installed said switch and got another year out of that drill. Really like that make because of its design allowed it into tight spots...
