Lifesaver
Works just like it should. Fairly straightforward for installation. although I went a little overboard with the weatherproof gang box setup that I did for my outdoor table saw. The START side of the button is somewhat hard(stiff) to press but that just means you really have to mean to do it and wont ever accidentally activate your table saw. I even took advantage o the cool little hole in the button and stuck a large hairpin cotter through it for good measure. STOP side is easily triggered and this style of button has already paid off a couple times already! I definitely recommend it 100%
