When I was at a demo in July Mike Young was talking about doing a traveling day long class/academy soon. Not sure if this is what he was talking about but it could be.

Re: lock out key

You may want to look at Home Depot as the part that Dusty posted has replacement part numbers for both Husky and Rigid tools. You may be able to order it through them.
