Review on ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ Advanced Momentary Operated Controller: Industrial Anti Skid Solution by John Hall

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Beautiful foot switch

Looks good, but note this: Very narrow wire, about half the size of 18 gauge wire. So small I can't even tell it's a .24 or something. It just doesn't feel right given the 10A rating. The cable is about two meters long, so your 10 amps have to travel four meters back and forth on this tiny cable. However, if you have a low-power application, there may not be a problem. I was able to open the box and it has a micro switch rated for 16A so that's good. But the strain relief isn't effective, that's just wishful thinking, so the wire will stretch soon. This creates unsafe conditions. I'm going to abandon the unit and install a thicker cable on it as I have plenty of spare cables in the garage. But anyway, my app is just an occasional hobby so I can appreciate the low cost and live with the downsides. But I wouldn't use it in a professional setting.
