Extremely high bounce rate - they actually self-destruct after a few months

Pros: They're cheap, easy to install, and can be used for both two-way and three-way applications. Cons: I installed 3 dozen of these and most had to be replaced again within 2 weeks to 3 months. Problem: The springs in these switches are strong and give you a nice positive click when you use them. Unfortunately, the thin plastic frame that holds the plastic pins that they pivot around isn't strong enough for a heavy-duty nib. We've had many switches fail in places they weren't even being used…

Pros
  • That's great
Cons
  • Some bugs

Good buy.: Industrial Electrical

The switches arrived much earlier than planned and were well packaged. Installation is simple and very easy. I liked the fact that these switches have 2 or 3 wires as some of the switches I replaced used 3 wire connections. It would be a shame if I got stuck with 2 wired switches and had to order more. The appearance is very clean and pleasing to the eye. They don't feel cheap and they don't perform cheaply. The switches operate with a crisp click that some might not like, but most don't care…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Great price, good workmanship, almost perfect switches

First of all, it's amazing to find well made 3 position switches at this price point. It's cheaper than the local hardware store and the build quality is very good. The switches are beautifully packaged and protected from scratches and damage, ensuring you receive the perfect switches. I've installed about 30 of these switches around the house and none of them have had any quality or other issues. I ordered these as I have a lot of 3 position switches and a lot of single pole switches around…

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
