I looked through the 1 star reviews after buying, installing and using several of these switches. I'm not affiliated with Amazon OR the company that sells these. I just hate seeing folks mislead by people who incorrectly install, don't know HOW to install, cause the item to fail by installing it incorrectly or just wanna whine about it being small or the screws being small to hold the wire. Let's take it step by step so maybe this will help some of you.Complaint: The switch IS small.Response: Yes it is. That's the whole point. Make a small switch that is easy to install, works great, and is a good value for the money.Complaint: "The screws are too small and you can't wrap the wire around them"Response: You've obviously been out of the electical industry for a while. The screws are not meant to have the wires wrapped around them. The screws are set into a clamping box that you insert the wire into. The screw then tightens down on the wire. Therefore you can use up to a 1/4" lamp cord to install it on. That doesn't mean a smaller wire won't work. It will because the screw tightens down ONTO the wire just like most good quality electrical outlets and circuit breakers in your electrical panel do. It's a proven system and a good one.Complaint: "I installed the wire into the switch and it blew up/caught fire/burned up".Response: Installing wire will usually require the stripping of insulation. If you incorrectly cut off too much insulation, you leave exposed wires in close proximity to eash other which can cause overheating/shorts/and even fire or total failure of the switch. You should not have exposed wire outside of the wire screw box.Complaint: "I installed the wires and screwed them down but they are so tiny they keep flopping around"Response: There is a strain relief inside the switch that will clamp the wires down holding them in place, if you install it correctly(as it comes from the factory)Complaint: "The switch is hard to click on and off".Response: Yes, it's rugged and built to last many cycles of switching.The main takeaway is this: electricity and electric devices (even lamps) are not something to play around with. If you don't know how to proficiently install something that deals with electricity, please get someone to do it who knows what they're doing. Don't do it incorrectly and then blame a perfectly good product. You could hurt yourself or even cause a fire. Safety first!I hope this helps. BTW, I tried two of these and liked them so well I bought 8 more!!

The product was exactly as stated. Worked great and appears to be very good quality. The switch worked very well and was easy to install. I would definitely recommend it.

I bought this to add an on/off switch to a desk fan that didn't previously have one.The switches were good quality, and securely hold the wire, thanks to the clear plastic clamps in the housing. Gives it a nice clean look and a crisp "click" on/off.

Seems like a pretty good product I have had it and use now for about a month. Arrived on time, easy to install and has worked well so far.

I got this product to add to an old standing lamp that had one of those inline wheel switches that often gave a shock when you went to use it. Connecting the wires was straightforward: cut, strip and attach to the screws in the switch. The switch itself is strong and works smoothly, clicking on and off easily. It seems well-made and looks like it was an original part of the lamp. The price is great, coming with two pieces, so that I have one to use for a future project.

Very tiny screws that require tedious wiring.Not squeeze and puncture connections.

These switches work Perfectly, but they are very hard to install.Very tiny screws; very tiny holes for the wires.However, once you Finally get them wired, they work perfectly.
