Marv 963 #1 Posted Monday at 11:30 PM I have a Remington 8" pole saw. The trigger on the little saw broke off. That is not an available part for replacement. The trigger is a hard black material. Thought it might be ABS, so i tried ABS cement on it. Didn't work. Maybe y'all have some suggestions. I don't want to scrap the saw. It is a handy little bugger.

Wayne0 842 #2 Posted Monday at 11:41 PM JB Weld has a "Plastic Bonder". You could try that or go my way and make your own out of what's on hand. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 27,156 #3 Posted Tuesday at 12:08 AM Can you get to it with a piece of metal / plastic and drill / rivet an extension? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 2,556 #4 Posted Tuesday at 12:14 AM (edited) Look for some stuff called Q-bond. I get it from my Matco dealer, but Amazon and a lot of hobby shops carry it. Edited Tuesday at 12:15 AM by adsm08 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 57,453 #6 Posted Tuesday at 11:15 AM Another option would be to look on for a "PARTS" saw of the same model. Quite often people put broken stuff up for sale for psrts. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brass, aluminum, steel, what ever works. Gotta' say, I'm good with files. If I can't buy it, I can most likely make it.
