### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple fix
*by C***S on November 2, 2025*

Perfect fit. Fast delivery. Works great. Easy to test with 2 short jumper wires and a YouTube video. Very Common repair, should be good for another 5-10 years depending on usage.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works good
*by H***K on January 7, 2026*

Perfect replacement. Wiring is a pain but not their fault. Works good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality switch for my router table
*by M***E on April 25, 2025*

This is a great safety switch for your router table or other power tool equipment. The only downfall is that it is not a magnetically held start meaning that if the power goes out, the unit will restart when power is restored. They have a magnetically held switch, but it did not have the paddle stop button. This one work very well for my application. The construction is very good and the size is just right.
