So overall this is a good product and it does exactly what you would expect but be careful! I connected my dust collector to this unit and it broke the switch. Other things worked fine. When I used a regular extension cord, the dust collector worked fine in the same outlet. This is not the same as a 14 gauge extension on a 15 amp circuit. Their 15 amp main switch allows a large inrush current, many times over 15 amps for a few seconds, which is what happens to the motor. There will be no small 13 amp circuit breaker on this block. Therefore use with large saws etc. can be problematic. I do NOT recommend this and my attorney says I need this disclaimer. Don't try this at home. It is possible that the slip ring in this device will start to sharpen at higher currents and shorten its life, but the side cover is easy to remove and bypass the switch. So if you plug in the usual, that's fine. Be aware, however, that a large saw, dust collector, etc. can damage this fast-acting, low-current switch.
