Solid switch. Great snap. Perfect for repairing a shop tripod lamp. Ratings good for the standard halogen bulb but switched to a LED bulb. Use the real deal quality switch. Not using some china knockoff switch which may fail dangerously.

Solid Performance for the Everyday
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2023
Size: (SPST) - ⅓ HP/125 V AC, 10 A/125 V ACVerified Purchase
If you're like me, you know the value of a hard day's work and gear that gets the job done. The gardner toggle switch is right up our alley – none of that fancy fuss, just reliability you can count on.

This switch doesn't need an instruction manual the size of a novel. It's a simple ON-OFF deal – the way it should be. Built tough to handle 8 A/125 V, it's like a handshake that says, "I've got this."

Now, I'll be straight with you – it's not about flashy features or slick designs. It's about performance. This switch might not be the shiniest tool in the shed, but it's the one you'll reach for time and again because it does the job without complaints.

So, if you're a blue-collar warrior who believes in straightforward solutions and getting stuff done, the Gardner Bender GSW-18 Toggle Switch is in your lane. No fluff, just results.

It's a good switch, very straightforward and feels well-made. I appreciate how it's "mountable" using the threaded ring included. I also appreciate how the wires go inside of the unit. They aren't attached on by screws like some units. I'm using it for a 12 v application, and I've had no issues so far, knock on wood.

Works terriffic!
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2020
Size: (SPST) - ⅓ HP/125 V AC, 10 A/125 V ACVerified Purchase
I added this switch to a light fixture I temporarily wired to a junction box and plug-in power cord. This switch is well-made, and quite "snappy!" It won't easily switch itself on or off due to brushing against something, and should last a long time.

The wires are the perfect thickness, and tied perfectly to the fixture's wiring with wirenuts. I really like how the front "plate" with the on and off markings unscrews for easy installation, and has a notch to ensure correct orientation. For any application, this switch seems to be a win!

I use these to run the hydraulic system on my 5 car trailer. They work great as long as you can keep them dry.. I coat the contacts in liquid electrical tape and they last me for a couple of years. They're easy to replace when I need to..

I had a rotating switch before (which was a dimmer) and the post broke off (plastic... WHY???). Broan OEM replacement was going to be $176. This works perfectly and was really easy to use as a replacement. I like the toggle switch MUCH BETTER than the original rotating know.
