Default air tool repair

I have a Souix air drill with a jammed trigger.

Any suggestions on who can repair it?

Been there, done that. All you need to do is pop the trigger off and clean/lube it. You have to push that pin out of the housing to get the trigger off, but it's not a big deal.

Default Fwiw

This is a bit off topic, but if someone has a problem with a Taylor tool, I've found their factory support to be quite good. I don't want to start a Taylor vs. Sioux debate, but I think the data point is useful.

(I use both Taylor and Sioux, and find them both to be good, but both need regular care and clean air to deliver reliable service.)

Thanks for the info.

I'll take a shot at fixing it myself cause I'm in the middle of a job and need it.

And I have a back-up if needed.
