I have an original screwdriver that I dropped today and broke the switch. Can anyone tell me where to get a switch and how to replace it? Any advice is appreciated.

I've used the radio shack momentary switches (mini SPST 1.5 Amp Momentary switch - Model: 275-1556 | Catalog #: 275-1556
- they seem to stock them in many of the stores).
I can't post links, but if you search trog's website (ecigscrewdriver) for "switch" you will find instructions and a diagram for replacing the switch (he also lists the radio shack switch).

Sun, I did post this in a couple different places trying to get some info. I thought this way I would probably get an answer quicker.
Hittman, if you don't mind doing a little bit of soldering work, that Radio Shack switch posted by mdw is definitely the ticket. It's an exact replacement (assuming you don't have the older small button switch the SD originally came with). Although as mdw said there are instructions available, you can see what soldering has to be done just by taking out and examining the broken switch.
However, if you don't want to do the soldering, Trog now sells a pack of two pre-modified replacement switches - so all you have to do is plop one in.
I've done it both ways, and really enjoyed the convenience the second time around with the pre-modified switch I bought from Trog.

Thanks, I got on the screwdriver forum and finally figured out how to get the switch out. How long did it take to get the switches from Trog?
Took about 9 days for me to get my replacement switch. I have no desire to try to figure out a soldering iron.
radioshack sells the exact switches you want! they have them at every store:
Mini SPST 1.5-Amp Momentary Pushbutton Switch (2-Pack) - RadioShack.com
Mini SPST 1.5-Amp Momentary Pushbutton Switch (2-Pack) - RadioShack.com
Thanks phee. I appreciate it. I just need to get to a radioshack now. The one I pulled out that was broken said 3A at 125v and the one at radio shack says 1.5A at 125v. I guess that will work ok though?
On the screwdriver site I see their switches are already soldered, just brought myself two. While i was on their site i noticed that the mark one is selling for £59.95. Oh! by the way thats the body only, just might get a back up hmmm
