knife switch good for me

The Wirthco 20188 In line knife battery disconnect switch was the best i found and at a good price, It works very good and easy to install. Purchased on ebay.com.

Pros
  • Used as a cut off switch for wind turbine.
Cons
  • The device is not very versatile and may not work with all types of batteries

The switch is easily reversible!

Simply remove the tape, remove mounting screws and reverse it.Also worth mentioning, I had to drill the hole bigger for a direct mount to the battery.

Pros
  • throw the switch and noone drive away... east to install also.
Cons
  • The device is not very intuitive and requires a lot of time to figure out how to operate

The best knife switch you can get

I needed a knife switch of the lowest possible impedance for a radio project, which made this Wirthco product an easy choice. Every other knife switch I've seen has been a cheesy little job made of much lighter CHROME PLATED metal. Chrome looks nice, true, but for conducting electricity I'll take nice beefy sections of copper and brass over chromed-up mystery metal any day. That's what the Wirthco's got. I've used Wirthco switches for the intended automotive applications as well, and they've…

Pros
  • perfect
Cons
  • The product may not be compatible with all types of vehicles, limiting its usefulness

Simple blade switch that I installed in my RV. My rig has a number of sensors tied (and I don't know why) into the engine battery.so.if I let my RV set for a month.the battery drains.and I got tired of connecting and disconnecting the battery leads.solution.the blade switch.easy to install and easy to use.the battery is happy and so am I.

Pros
  • works as intended
Cons
  • The installation process is difficult and complicated, which could turn off some users

Just what I needed good for me

Well constructed. Positive clousure. Sturdy. I drilled out the threaded hole and purchased a slightly longer metric bolt for attachment directly to the battery bank in my RV. Works great in storage. Hope there’s no problem bouncing down the road.

Pros
  • Exactly what I was looking for.
Cons
  • The product is not very durable and may break easily

Didn't use this for a battery disconnect.

Heavy duty part, good price, exactly what I was looking for. Used it to break power going to a Tig torch. That's my review.

Pros
  • ‎20188
Cons
  • The product is not very easy to repair and may require professional assistance
