This thing is driving me nuts.
Had it a couple of months and when it works it's fantastic but it's unbelievably temperamental.
It works great then suddenly stops working. Have to reseat the clutch anything up to a dozen times to get it working again and it will work great for anything from one to a hundred hits before I have to reseat it again. I totally stripped it out and rebuilt it and it seems more reliable so far but still requires a lot of precision and force to get a clean contact (which is what this switch design was supposed to address).
The button can get painfully hot in the center which suggests arcing and/or the center pin being too close to the plastic plate.
Any ideas welcome bearing in mind that both the UK supplier and manufacturer don't seem to have any replacement switches in stock.
