The guy on ebay selling the part for $5.00 used might be a better deal
cause he only charges $6.00 for UPS shipping...

Black and Decker, sigh.......

Did you already try your local repair shops? They might have it in
stock or at least not have to charge shipping if it comes in another
order.

Otherwise you might find it online somewhere else.

You used to be able to order B&D parts at your local DeWalt authorized
service center. you might check to see if you have one in your area.


The "authorized" Dewalt/Black&Decker/PorterCable sells the part to me
the consumer for $15.00 PLUS tax if I pick up. They are the largest
Black and Decker service centre in Canada but they don't stock this
particular part so it's a 3 week wait they said. I haven't checked out
any others in my part of Ontario but this large one closest one is 35
minutes away and the tolls for the hiway will be about 3 or 4 bucks.
Taking a non-toll hiway will add about 15 minutes each way.

Local service shop in my town has dealt with Black and Decker in past
but says Black and Decker needs a minimum $50 order before Black and
Decker ships out, and since he rarely ever fixes Black and Decker or
Dewalt parts, it might take him weeks to compile a minimum order. He
said He'll charge me 9 or 10 bucks but he looked, sounded, and acted
like he wants nothing to do with Dewalt/BandD.

I'm contacting some buddies who might need black and decker parts to at
least make the shipping charge worthwhile.
