Where can I buy BluePoint spares?

[Sphinx]

Hi guys, hope some of you can help.
I've recently been given a small Blue Point air saw that looks a bit like this:

It works but a few of the parts are worn out; there are two little blocks that look like they guide the blade and stop it being pushed back and they're worn. Does anyone know where I can get spares?

Thanks

blue point goes under the snap on tool banner i think :laughing look up agent for snapon

Yup, find a Snap-On man, he will be able to order the parts.

Not sure if it's still the case and the same for Bluepoint but most Snap on air tools used to be re-badged Chicago Pneumatic. Will be cheaper to get CP parts from a dealer than the Snap-On.

Try here http://www.randaairtools.co.uk/frequentquestions.php they were helpful when I was looking for spares but they were the same price as here http://www.cromwell.co.uk/ and I could get the spares on my tool account at work so I went with cromwells they both might be able to help you find spares

Thanks again, I resorted to some ghetto engineering cutting a tiny square from some 3mm steel then drilling/tapping some M4 holes in it. It isn't as pretty as the factory parts but it does the job.
Also noticed the safety mechanism on the trigger is missing, no biggy but it would be nice to have it all complete.

Safety mech's are a pain in the ****, just watch it when you put it down and undo the airline.

I got some spares for my air ratchet from snapon. It was 1.48p for the parts and £5 post!

Funny you should say that, I was looking at the safety mech and came to the conclusion that it was better without (maybe the reason it was missing in the first place)
I've inherited various tools from my uncle as he no longer uses them; it's a mixed bunch of good (branded) tools that I'm tryin to re-fresh and some cheap stuff that tbh I've mostly binned.
It says a lot for the likes of Snap On/Blue Point, he had a little air ratchet and after a good clean some some oil it looked & worked as good as new. The non branded cheaper items were either too broken to breathe life into or generally poor.
