That bites.   Milwaukee and Senco are the two brands that I have had the 
most respect for.   Mine are old, but seem eas to repair and extremely 
well built.  No reason they won't outlive me.   I am dismayed to hear 
Milwauke has cheapened out.   I always respected the fact they never 
used to play the HP bs game.
