Pros & Cons
Pros
The 15 amp foot switch is a high quality switch with contacts rated for 120v, 240v and even 600 vac. It can easily handle the low voltage requirements for what i used it for. I run a christmas light show which has an interactive sign which viewers can... Read More
The switch is very ruggedly built. The foot petal is strong enough to las a longtime. I'm sure it will hold up to the * of being outdoors and subject to heavy-footed viewers.

Attach the cover plate with the four screws and you should be ready for work
Price
For the price i am pleasantly surprised
I liked the price of this foot switch
Packaging/appearance
Heavy cast aluminum housing and appears to have a quality coating of paint
I was a little surprised there was no real packaging when it arrived and the insulatorclamp from the picture was not included
Competitiveness
I am using this foot switch to control a heavyduty resistance soldering unit that can draw up to 1800 watts 15 amps
