Sioux Right-Angle Sander Repair

I bought a handheld right-angle sander last year at Edric's recommendation.  I use it sand pieces while they are still on the lathe (with the lathe turned off).  I bought a Sioux brand sander and the unit has worked great and I would recommend it...but, I broke the trigger a few weeks ago by bumping the trigger side-ways during a sanding operation.  The trigger is long and fragile and has no lateral strength.  Cracked right in half.

I ordered a new part from Sioux and fixed it myself.  At least it is easy to fix, but they need to make the trigger stronger.

UPDATE FROM 8/2008:  This unit continues to be a real workhorse for me and runs like a champ. Recommended in spite of the trigger issue in 2005
