Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use this with a pair of WahlClassic pro Clippers?

It's an intriguing query. br>br>However, whether it can be used on a pair of clippers largely depends on how well the format fits the clippers. I used this for a 115V lighted medicine cabinet, so if you're on 115V mains power on a 15 or 20V circuit, this switch should work. Furthermore, it must be properly installed in terms of insulation and other factors, which I am unable to answer because I do not own a pair of clippers.

Is this a single pole with a double throw?

It's a single pole single throw, not a double pole double throw. An on/off switch is all that is required. In either position, it stays put.

Is it possible to use this to build a grounding switch for my radio?

Why would you want to disable the ground on your radio? Interrupting the ground will turn off the radio and may cause a shock hazard.br>However, if you did an on-the-ground interruption, the radio will be turned off and there will be no shock hazard.br>However, if you did an on-the-ground interruption It would be enough if the switch was turned off.

Is there a way to use this as a car's kill switch?

Yes, it can be used as a kill switch, but the type of circuit you're interrupting will determine how effective it is. Consider how much current will pass through the switch (it's rated for 20 A at 125 V AC).

Little switch with a good amount of sturdiness
5/5

I used it as a kill switch for my Go Kart. br>It works perfectly for my application. You'll need to ground one of the terminals on your go kart if you want to use it as a kill switch. The motor is connected by the other wire. A couple of spade connectors, as well as something to crimp them with, are required. This switch isn't something I'll need to replace in the future.

This is an excellent substitute
5/5

The guy who sold me my low-pressure, high-volume blower 20 years ago advised me to put a guard around the switch because it was the only thing that had ever gone wrong with his blower of the same age. He smashed the switch by knocking it off a table. Yes, I'm one of them. This replacement has the same model number as the original and is a perfect fit and function. It's been around for forty years. What makes you think that? This morning, I erected a barrier around it.

It appears that the quality has improved
5/5

I needed some light fixture switches, and these appeared to be a step up from the cheap Chinese junk. They all worked, and the switch slid smoothly into place with a solid latch. The toggle and stem are both very strong. I'd purchase them again if I needed more.

At the very least, it can take 7 amps
5/5

I purchased this switch because the cheap ones I had previously purchased claimed to be able to handle 15 or 20 amps but could only handle 7 amps and were melting. br>br>The switching mechanism is nice, and it's not too difficult to use. I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about when they say it's difficult to switch.

This is a massive machine
5/5

So, I needed a small STSP switch for a ground lift on a bass (I made and am installing a DI into a P bass, so I need a GL switch), and I thought it was smaller than this, but that was my fault because the size is clearly stated on the Amazon page. It's a 20-amp switch with a signal similar to. 5 mA lol. Anyway, I'm keeping it because it's useful in other situations. It's well-built and long-lasting.

I was surprised by the price, as it appeared to be a very low-cost item based on the photos
5/5

I was surprised when I saw the actual product because it was of such high quality. The quality is excellent, and the hand is extremely comfortable. It is highly recommended, particularly because of the low cost.

Item was delivered, but it has not yet been installed
3/5

This item appears to be in good condition, but I have yet to install it. It mustn't go to waste! br>The weak items only last a few hours before they are completely destroyed by the electrical heat!.
