Good Day... I have a B&D Model 3105 Sawzall which requires the speed
reducing spider gear replaced. The part is too expensive to buy new so
I was hoping someone had a non-repairable saw that would part with the
gear. Please send an email if you do. Thanks.

Hi Greg... Actually this is an ancient constuction grade model (needle
bearings throughout) that my carpenter brother-in-law used for years.
Its failure was the result of the trust ring's cover retaining screws
working loose (common design - even in my Hitachi). It's always better
to fix, if economically feasible, than filling-up the landfill, IMHO.

How often are you going to post this? You gave it your best shot and no one
replied. I guess many of us just don't keep old tools laying around in case
someone ever needs a part 15 years from now. Just buy a new part or a new
saw and get on with life.
Of course, since B & D never made a Sawzall, you won't find the part for
one.

Ancient is good. At least that's what I keep telling myself. ;-)
I have two really old B&D items, and they are a far cry from what is
available today.
As for your refurb attempts, I don't deny that it's better to fix than
to fill the landfills with imported junk, for sure.
I keep everything... well... forever. ;-)
Good Luck finding what you need.
But if it is a common failure, the chances of finding a good used part
becomes rather slim. B&D may be your best option.

You have a B&D reciprocating saw. Sawzall is a Milwaukee Trademark.
Just buy a new one, the B&D isn't much anyway. The time you spend
searching for this one part could be better spent with a new saw that
isn't an entry level, plastic homeowner tool that breaks frequently.
Remember, cry once.
Dewalt, Milwaukee, PC have models less than $100.
Good Luck, otherwise.
FWIW,
