Took a Bosch jigsaw and a Porter Cable sander to the repair shop
today. The repair form I signed made me acknowledge that if they took
the tools apart and decided they could not repair them that they could
not, because of an OSHA rule, put them back together but would return
them to me disassembled.

Anybody have this experience?


Having read all this I can see the logic.

It really didn't matter to me one way or the other.

It they can not fix the tool I will certainly not drive the distance
to the repair center to pick it up. I will replace it.

I wouldn't take a portable power tool (particularly anything from PC)
in for repair, at all. I'd just replace it. Labor is just too
expensive these days to bother with it.
