Q:Has the switch issue been fixed on these? You say "will be fixed" -- can you confirm if the design flaw was fixed, or whether there is a permanent fix once it stops working?

Q:Has the issue with the switch been fixed? For more than 30% or reviewers the switch broke. How about the speed dial that comes lose and change speed from vibrations only? Has that been fixed too? How do I know I get an upgraded tool if I buy one now?
