Man them plastic retaining nuts for the switches really suck

[Ryma Mara]

I have lost a couple just by simple spinging and getting my shoulder mucles built up but Man I got to find a better way to keep the switch retaining nut from comming off.

[fau-pa ramid]

why dont you get a different switch or get a metal peice made that is just like it?

[Ryma Mara]

dude, ryma. i have the perfect solution for you. go to home depot or lowes. the electrical isle somewhere has switches for lamps and such. i got a new switch from there because the switch i had, the wires broke. the new one i got is a little big...but man its tough. i think it looks better also. not to mention the wires are a LOT thicker so its better. i think it costs like...3.50. not expencive and its the same size as the switches tim sells here.

the closest thing we got is a menards.

well i have no idea what that is, but im sure they have something. if not, you could order one online. i tried finding some but there are so many types of switches that a million things came up. its a 1/4th inch push button electrical swtich if you want to look.

I'm in the same boat. I like Tim's switch but not the retaining nut. I pick up the brass pushbutton switches from Ace Hardware and use their retaining nut, which is either nickel plated or brass and it fits Tim's switches perfectly. It's a few extra dollars, but the look is nice.
