Default Whose ground switch

What make of ground switchs would anyone recommend. I have used several and they have broken themselves from vibration etc. I have tried Radio Shack and also Discount auto stores. Thanks for any response Stuka Jon

Gee, I've never had that problem in 6 years of running gas engines. If your switch is breaking from vibration, are you sure your radio electronics are ok? Go to any electronics supply house, not RS, and get a heavy duty switch. That should solve the problem.

Bennettbuilt.com (B&B Specialties) has a good one that won't break from vibration. I've had that problem with other switches.

Use a slide switch rather than a toggle switch. Toggle switches can't take a joke as far as vibration goes.
