I bought this to convert my blasting cabinet to foot operated rather than a squeeze trigger on the gun itself. This foot pedal works just fine, but it’s very lightweight and has a bunch of plastic. I doubt it’ll last forever, but it was a decent value for the price. Now that I’ve successfully converted my blast cabinet, I’ll make improvements on the concept as the original parts and pieces fail. Based on the money I spent on this footpedal, I’m satisfied with my purchase. I wasn’t sure I could reconfigure successfully, so I really wasn’t looking to spend a bunch of money for an experiment. I’m sure it will work just fine if I can avoid stomping on it or abusing it in some other way.

What I thought might be an insubstantial product that I would probably throw away after I finished my cleanup project, turned out to be a very sturdy tool. I had about 250 old prescription bottles collected over years past that I needed to remove or obliterate before recycling them. The labels were difficult to remove y my old method of filling the bottles with hot water and then peeling the label off and adding it to a stack of old labels and the recapping the bottles and throwing them into a big garbage bag. Slow and tedious. But since the labels were designed to be compatible with the heat printing printers I figured that I could just heat the whole label still on the bottles and just recycle them with blacked out labels still attached. I got out my heat gun and started. Good idea, bad process. I would turn on the heat gun, heat/obliterate the label, turn off the heat, check the label for thoroughness of damage, throw in garbage bag, grab another bottle, and ….you know - wash rinse repeat. After about the first twenty five bottles or so my trigger finger was raw from the tight stiff slide switch. Rethink the process; I’d done something similar with a sanding job with my belt sander months ago with an inline switch. Good process, still could be better. Maybe a foot switch like for my Christmas tree lights. Foun one on Amazon Prime that was momentary on while foot pressed pedal. Eureka!!! Finished job in one sitting. Didn’t burn out the heat gun, didn’t lose a finger or two, no major burn’s from heat gun or hot bottles. Now had two empty bins to fill up. Just the thing for my extension cords. One of the best purchases recently. And the switch? Worked positively great, and hardly a scratch or over stressed spring. Now looking for some other project for this switch.

Nice product, good price, and works perfectly.

Total game changer for anyone that grinds their own meat!

I cut off the end and turned it into a PTT foot switch for my ham radio. it works perfectly.
