The key is very flimsy, more for looks than functionality

My first one I ordered and the seesaw arrived already broken. The replacement broke during installation with very little hassle. I was able to put it back in place, but it falls off when I try to use it properly and turn off the switch next to it. In my opinion, they're better for demonstrating and sharing code, but they won't work really well. . I plan on just turning the switches off manually instead of relying on that flimsy seesaw. If you want something really reliable I would choose…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Fits perfectly, serves its purpose.

It fits perfectly and serves its purpose. I think the yoke is more of a reminder than a lever as its rivet is quite weak. I don't plan on turning on the generator breaker and expect the seesaw to shut off the mains without breaking the rivet. Will turn off the grid and then turn on the generator breakers and vice versa when it comes back to grid. As said, this is a reminder and lock, not a means of turning on two switches with one press. good deal compared to other devices out there. It's still

Pros
  • It's great
Cons
  • Some bugs

Manufacturing issue

This was the locking device I needed. However, the rocker arm was mounted upside down. The lever ends do not point towards the shift handles, but away from them. This did not prevent both switches from being turned on at the same time! When I tried to rotate the mount, it hit the body. When I tried to turn it, the rivet came loose. Luckily I was able to use a punch to securely install the rivet. If the rocker arm is in the correct position, the switch lock will function properly. Too bad I…

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
