The replacement part & directions are great. The design of switch is cause of problem and will have to be replaced routinely as it is easily worn and clogged

Very easy Repair
Removed the four screws from cap of sander, lifted slide-cam out, disconnected the two leads and pulled the switch up (came out in pieces). re-connected two leads, pressed switch back into position and replaced slid cam. Ten-minute repair including replacing sander cap and four screws. Works just fine.

Ordering Process was Efficient and Repair was Easy
The website was well organized and easy to find and order the right part.
The sander switch arrived in 20 days which I thought was good considering it had to cross into Canada. Switch installation took 10 minutes and the sander is now good as new. I will definitely use eReplacementParts again.

Removed top of sander, removed switch and connected a 'jumper' wire around switch. Plugged in and sander ran. Biggest problem was finding a switch. I was told about your company by an employee at one of the other sites I was looking at. I went to your site and I ordered the switch and the replacement took all of about 5 minutes.
