That's one of the surprising bennies of HF power tools in my opinion. They may be cheaply made and (in most but not all cases) not work as well as a name brand, but the instruction manual for every HF tool I have includes an exploded diagram with part numbers and a phone number to order them. Taking a broken tool that's still under warranty back to the store and getting an exchange is never a problem with HF, but it's also nice to know that you can buy spare parts and keep the tools going yourself. I am pretty sure that my Milwaukee circular saw which cost 3x the Harbor Freight equivalent did not come with a spare parts diagram---they want you to take it to an authorized service center (the nearest of which is a 2 hour drive from me) if even the smallest, most insequential part breaks.
