Torch

I have a snap on 130 turbo ,not used it for 5 years ..Anyway thought Id get it out due to impending jobs on my Discovery..However the trigger is in the (on) position ..Took it apart and cleaned it but seem to be missing a return spring??..This set has had hardly any use at all and it worked well when last used..I removed the black plastic on the block and was carefull doing so over a sheet of paper just in case LOL..There is no spring or signs of one being there..If they do have a return spring wheres it gone???? Can they be bought ? thanks in advance

Not sure if you can buy just the spring but you can buy the entire gas valve and swan-neck assembly here.

I had seen them advertised but to be honest an expensive way of replacing a spring ..Just doing my head in wondering where the spring has gone

You may find one of these kits handy, I bought one a couple of years ago..only used 6 springs so far but saved me a fortune on replacing the parts.

^ that might just do it. Looks like there's a fine-ish one in there, you don't want it very strong as those torch triggers are way too flexy.

Hopefully there is one in that collection that will fit..Not knowing where mine has gone I have no idea of size etc ..Unless someone has a spare or a pic of one..cheers
