5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice, but check your machine, January 5, 2003

This product came and worked as expected with clear and simple instructions. Unfortunately, my 230 volt dust collector came with a motor controller push button unit that does not hold the last switch position with the power off (a safety feature). Consequently, it will turn off using this remote switch but will not restart without manually pushing the "on" button. You can test your unit by turning it on and pulling the electric plug, and putting the electric plug back in the outlet to see if it restarts when energized.

If you're old enough, you'll no doubt remember your first impressions of a remote control television being something like, "Anyone too lazy to get up and change their TV channels..." The same was true for garage door openers. Of course, who has a TV without a remote control now? Well, here we go again. This one, however can translate into increased efficiency (and even safety) in your shop.

First of all, the installation of the Long Ranger couldn't be simpler. If you can hook up an extension cord, you've got it made.

Secondly, in my case (and perhaps in yours), it allowed me to get my dust collector into a separate room... a closet-like room where the "filtered" air (which, as we all know, is full of dust) doesn't blow back into my shop. Therefore, my shop is a lot less dusty now. Even if this possibility doesn't exist for you, this product can still save you a lot of steps to the dust collector... stepping over hoses, cords, etc. can get old, and it's even dangerous.

Finally, the switch is easy to use and well designed. It clips right onto your belt or pocket and it's there when you need it. Mine has never failed to activate or deactivate the dust collector.

The range is admirable. I can activate it from 50 yards away, which is about 35 yards more than I'll ever need.

It's not much money to spend for something you WILL use a lot. I guarantee that if you try it, you'll never be without one. Get one... You'll never be sorry!

5 stars for a 5-star tool!

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST-HAVE ACCESSORY FOR DUST COLLECTION, March 24, 2003

I utilize a multi-tool dust collector that sits in a covered area outside my shop to cut down on noise. At the time I installed it, I was contemplating a number of different options for how to turn it on and off without walking out to the collector each time (or leaving it on and wasting all that electricity). This remote control was the perfect answer!!

I utilize the 220 volt version, and it has performed exactly as advertised. It was very east to hook up, the remote control unit reacts instantly to start and stop the collector from anywhere in my shop. I have used it up to 30 feet away and through an insulated wall with absolutely no problems. The unit has also caused no interference problems.

My tools are generally grouped around two sides of my shop, and I recently added a second handpiece to the system. I made a couple of wall-mounted holders for the handpieces, and placed one near one group of tools and one near the other - now I don't even have to carry the handpiece around with me.

Nice to have something that is reasonably priced and performs as advertised. You'll wonder how you got along without it!!
