Ultimate power switch?

martinab2 · 6th October 2004, 10:45 AM

Anyone spotted these in the new Maplin catalogue yet? Looks quite cool and also makes it quite difficult for those important switches to get operated 'accidentally'
Okay, so it's mostly just for fun but I liked it.

"tool" and "aircraft" power switches

What does Maplin sell them for? I have seen them in industrial electrical centres for about $8-10 CAD.

Costs about £3 at Maplin - not sure what that is in $

*Cough* for those Aussie buyers, you can grab em for a few dollars in and around Jaycar shops...

Or find them in the catalouge...

New makes.

Btw, kudos to those glowy thingies...!

Indeed, as Geek mentioned, aircraft and military guarded switches.

But these red guards are used as emergency switches

The black ones are for not emergency operation.
