I-R air tool repair

[Mark Koons]

I broke off the little plastic selector switch that controls the rate of air flow through a recently-built Ingersoll-Rand palm sander. So far I get no response from the googled sources of repair. Do any of you know where I can take this tool in the Denver-Casper area or send it to be repaired? Is this a throwaway tool?

It likely won't be cost effective to repair. That was my experience on my IR 1/2" vs air drill. Parts were available but almost the cost of new. This was a $400 plus drill 7 or 8 years ago. So why not buy new? I hope your experience is different.
