Nice switch for the money
Bought this for an air compressor. Quality seems to be pretty good. The front bezel and buttons are plastic but the body of the switch and the actuators are Bakelite. The switch has a pretty nice positive snap action which should help the contacts last. The terminal screws are a little small but I had no trouble getting 12 AWG stranded wire under the clamp plates, which tightened down nicely. The provided screws which hold the bezel (and also hold the switch into position) are metric and need to be replaced with 6-32 screws to fit a standard US handibox. Pan head screws and little washers worked best here. I used a 4X4 electrical box along with a switch collar plate to mount. I have only been using this switch for a few weeks but it has been solid and works well so far.

Would buy again
I gave it 3 stars for easy to install because I had to drill the mounting holes for the screws out a small bit to make it fit properly in the box I bought for it. Other than that installation was straight forward and routine. I used it as a replacement switch for the broken one on my radial arm saw and it functions very well, I am well pleased with it and would buy it again even with the issue of having to drill the holes out a touch.

Muy buena calidad y excelente precio
Apenas me acaba de llegar, al destaparlo se nota que es de buena calidad, es ideal para erramienta de alto rendimiento. Me gusto en especial por qué ya contamos con otro tipo de apagadores y dicen ser de uso rudo, y en el mismo plástico parece de muy baja calidad. Pero este producto se ve resistente y de muy buena calidad.Excelente compra para su uso en maquinaria, me sorprende que en un costado trae una calca, donde según dice que puede aguantar hasta para 10 Hp. Yo lo usaré para un motor eléctrico marca WEG cerrado de 3HP. Los retroalimento en cualquier detalle.
