The one I'm replacing was not of US manufacture. It, too, was produced "off
shore". It will be sent out for a rebuild (there really isn't much to these
air saber saws), and kept as a spare. When it was new, I had it in for
warranty service a couple of times. The second time, they bored the cylinder
slightly larger, which at least kept it from temporarily seizing, which it
frequently did. Experimenting with lubrication feed volume & different lube
oils had no effect. It sure has earned it's nick name (stall saw).

Have you asked if they can service your made in the USA saw?
