Best light cord switch.
The only tricky part is crimping the cut wire in the connectors. Use a small screwdriver or small pliers. They are sturdy, a solid click of the button. Quick and easy to install. And also an excellent price. I may order an extra box just to have them ready. Great for Christmas lights!

Plusses and Minuses - overall good (NOT momentary BTW)
We got these for a small Christmas Tree and having spares always nice.PROSWorksGood clickOK to installCONSNo instructionsCrimping harder than expected - suspect it will not handle rated 10A unless solderedNeed more tools than typical 'roller' in-line switch2 halves & press-together. Not sure how easy it'll be to take apartTo Install :Tools - wire cutter, stripper, common screwdriver, molars (pliers preferred)- cut one leg (smooth) of wire and separate wires about 12mm on each side- strip ~5mm from each end- tuck a bare wire in terminal- crimp or solder wire/terminal ( I used a screwdriver on table-top to crush terminal - suspect there's better way)- repeat for other end- carefully TEST switch, being careful not to touch exposed wires- if OK install cover with pliersThankfully worked first try and happy with price/quality of product.

Kind of problematic, you will need to solder
I could not find a punch that would flatten the crimps inside, so I had to solder the wires in place. Soldering did not deform the plastic, even though it took a few seconds for the internal shiny plated to take the solder. Fit was a bit tight even with 18ga lamp cord. There is strain relief once the halves are pressed together. I think the device is safe, be sure to cut the break on the hot side of the cord if it is polarized. The device is slightly curved, so if you want to stick it on something, you will need to shim it in the center with an extra layer of double sided tape or something.As others have pointed out, you might want to pay a bit more for a higher quality switch that can possibly assemble without soldering. It's OK for my uses.

Great price !
Great Price had to unplug my lites on my pool bar area everytime we used them now with switch in line I can easily shut everything off with a click . Now I can also fix 4 more problems probably @ xmas time .

Not a word of instruction
It's basic, cheap, probably does the job but there isn't a word of instruction so I won't know. The design is a bit different from the generic type so I can't tell if you strip and then close the switch box to make the connection. I'll return this and buy one that actually puts in minimal effort to provide clues on set-up. PARTSTOCK has wasted my time and effort.

Worth the price.
They're pretty cheap and flimsy, but if you don't need strong and durable, they're a great deal. I use mine to switch a usb webcam on snd off. Works a peach!

Better options out there that use screws for housing and terminal
This switch has no screws, meaning wire terminals and housing only snap closed. This gives less options for a secure hold when using thicker wires or wires with thicker plastic sheaths. And also means it’s not very practical if you have to take apart the switch to rewire or remove.The plain rectangular look also feels a little cheaper than some others. Returned and went for something a little sleeker and compact that uses screws for the housing and connections, at the same price.

Good little switch for the money.
I bought them because they were cheap and I guess I got what I paid for but it works. The design was a little odd, I suppose the designer thought it was really special. I didn't want to solder right on that plastic case so I used a punch to crimp the connectors and that worked ok. It was a tight squeeze getting the case halves together but again, It worked. These switches are ok for light duty but won't accomodate anything more than 16awg lamp cord.
