    you don't say why you need one. if your switch died, depending upon the year, you might be able to get a new one for free. Ryobi had a number of bad switches replaced or recalled, like 1995-1996 and then again with the BT3100 around 2004.

    Call them and ask, you never know.
    Details in my FAQ.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

        Just a comment -- I've never been a fan of the BT3100 switch. If mine died, I'd put in a paddle-style replacement, or better still, a magnetic one like found on more expensive saws (the kind that reset to "off" if the power is interrupted).
