Excellent and fast service
The replacement parts arrived as new. My gas trimmer was fixed and works perfectly. Thanks for the good service.

Easy drop-in repair part. Nice quality feel.
Well packaged, quickly shipped and made the repair of my Hitachi leaf-blower a 10 minute job. Only difference is that this one is *not* spring loaded (it latches on or off) and so must be manually switched off -- not a big deal at all.

easy repair !!
Grandson's dog chewed on the handle of leaf blower destroying the off on switch. We were able to salvage the handle and replace the switch and now our leaf blower is saved.

1. Remove screws from the throttle housing that contains the stop switch. Take note of how the throttle spring hooks into the handle for re-assembly later.

3. Unhook the wires from the old stop switch by pulling them off of the stop switch terminals.
4. Plug the new stop switch into the hole in the throttle housing until it snaps into place.
5. Connect the wires to the new stop switch taking care to make sure they are connected to the correct terminals.
6. Screw the throttle housing back together taking care to ensure the throttle trigger spring is inserted properly into the throttle housing.
Took handle apart. Replaced switch. Degree of difficulty was met when you have to have three hands to reassemble the handle regarding the throttle cable jumping out of its slot.
I actually glued the throttle cable in-place overnight. Went together fine without the 3rd hand being necessary. Gotta do what you gotta do!
