The 8 Best Pedal switches (2023 reviews)

The wen pedal switch should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. This all metal constructed switch is very durable and handles the load of a 1.5hp tile saw no problem. It controls the light in the sand blaster along with the dust vacuum inside the sand blaster. It works well for detail oriented machines that you may need to stop frequently with. The plug for the pedal has both male/female plug ends.

The pedal has a nice solid feel with an audible click that gives a tactile feel though the foot when activated. It saves a lot of time. Its design is such that the device is activated by foot pressure and deactivates when the pressure is released, thereby ensuring a safe and controlled operation.

Best For Power tool: Briidea Pedal Switch

We would, of course, be remiss if we didn't mention briidea pedal switch for regular usage. The remote foot pedal works great when grinding wild game to make sausage. It is great for electric bench tools. It allows hands-free operation when using router, sander, drill press, wood lathe, scroll saw, wood carving tool, power tool or lighting or any household appliances. While the foot switch is light, it is built well and handled multiple on and offs without a problem and without moving around. It's great to hit the pedal and the water starts running, no hands needed.

Best With Cable: TWTADE Pedal Switch

Buy on Amazon

Compared with other switch in this category, the twtade pedal switch has a convenient design. It is good for short work of projects. The switch has a short cord (6 ft.) and the electrical appliance you need powered by the foot switch must be plugged into the back of the plug on the foot switch thus rendering any notion of using the switch to extend your cable reach unlikely. The foot pedal is responsive when pressed down. It controls on & off. The cord for the pedal could be longer since it does not reach from the counter ( where the plug is) to the floor.

It’s a small pedal but it works well. The foot power allows you to use both hands for grinding meat/stuffing sausages. This is much better than plugging and unplugging to start/stop the saw.
