While this switch is advertised as heavy duty, nowhere on the box or on the switch itself is there any listing of its capacity or voltage. Further, there is no UL, CE or other electrical certification listed on the box or product or even its electrical cord. This concerns me. Apparently others are pleased with the function and quality, but I am hesitant to use mine.
Editor's note: This switch is 110/120 volt and is rated for a 15 amp maximum draw. It is not an UL listed item however the cord is an UL labeled cord.

I used two of them to replace hard to reach switches on a table saw and drill press. They work great and were easy to install. However, I was really disappointed that they were not UL or CSA approved. I feel safer using electrical parts that have earned agency approvals.

I've bought 3 of these and I may buy a 4th. I have one for my router table, one for an old 1.5hp molder I've restored, and one for my shop vac. I have the shop vac under the wing of my table saw along with a cyclone and I have this power switch mounted on a post in a central location next to the saw. It does what it's supposed to do. The big stop paddle is removable.

I had originally wanted the old school push button switch for my antique table saw. I have had this switch hardwired in for about two months and it has performed in an exemplary fashion. I tend to "whack" the stop paddle fairly hard and it takes whatever I give it. I will definitely buy more of these as I continue to restore my vintage woodshop.

I bought this to replace my table saw switch that has been back ordered for months now. I will say this, It is heavy duty as far as the cords and the switch. I give it a lower rating because the stop paddle, which is required as a safety and speed of shutting down the saw, falls off every other time I hit it. A quick snap back on but when it falls off the saw is still on. When this happens you need a finger to stop it. I think I can modify the paddle some how, but I don't think anyone wants a chance of needing the safety portion of the switch and its not there.
