    Default Dewalt 18v nailgun repairs

    Have a Dewalt DC 618 18 v nailgun which worked perfectly for years but now starts ,lights on but when I pull the trigger no one is home ie doesnt shoot nail.
    I have trawled the internet for all the usual things = rubber bands , rubber belt activates + fly wheel goes around , battery full voltage, nothing bent or jammed ,nails in OK , switches OK .
    So took to Total tools they rang Dewalt who said its an American model[ I bought on ebay about 2008 before they were available here] so they dont want to help.
    My theories are the trigger switch or solenoid ? I would rather repair it if possible .
    Please anyone know anything or can suggest a helpful repair place ?

    If Dewalt au won't help try an email to parent company in the states, companies in the states usually have pretty could idea of customer relations and do try to help

    Dewalt Australia is about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Rang them 5 times before I could get to speak to someone in spares. Didn’t have a clue even though I gave him the part number FROM THEIR OWN WEBSITE!!
    Prices for spare’s were over the top. I now buy from ereplacementparts.com.

    Yes another tool repair shop said they were so bad to deal with that they no longer want to repair Dewalt .

    G’day Lappa
    I looked on ereplacement for a driver blade assembly for the newer dcn660 guns and part was $40 odd us but postage was was $42 us which pushed total cost to over $140 au .
    Do you use a different postage method?
    Cheers Jim
