Great lil switch, just get the bigger ones.
Works as it should, using on a lathe and motor works fine as well. For the price vs a standard drum switch you can’t beat the value.

Quality product, but for the love of God don't open it.
Curiosity got the best of me, and I unscrewed the main switch binding pieces... The whole thing shot springs and contacts everywhere and literally just crumpled in my hand. Each terminal is the same design, and piggybacks on the one below. As a lifelong mechanical engineer, I still have no desire to put it back together lol, I'll pay another 15 bucks. For what it's worth, the design was very basic, and a cam simply pushes the terminals. The contacts looked a bit small to me, at about 1/8 inch, but I have no knowledge on that. Edit, I got the thing back together, it's actually very straight forward. I tried to swap parts between two switches to create a custom switch, but it's worth noting that the gears have different tooth counts.... Most likely for QC in a factory with lots of parts. See picture: 180 and 90 degree switched.

Solid switch with easy installation if you understqand electrics.
Reliable so far. Used as a selector for shore power vs generator power in a small RV conversion.

Beware, they mean TERMINALS not "contacts"
Looks like a good solid product. What caught me off guard though was in their count they actually mean the literal number of terminals. I had taken it to mean the number of contacts. Ill have to order more now

WHY didn't I buy this sooner????
After cooking not one, but TWO inverters in my RV due to my own stupidity, I decided I needed to get just a little smarter. This thing is perfect. You have to run some jumper wires between the output terminals, but the end result is you simply CANNOT fry anything. The coolest part is that since you can have BOTH the inverter and the shore power connected at the same time, you can make the switch between the two fast enough to not lose all your 110v clocks and settings. Even my AC unit doesn't care.

Great switch for the price!
I use this switch for a single phase reversing 110 volt motor. It was a challenge figuring out how to wire it but I finally got it! It works great!
