Is the kroll clickie switch all we\'ve got?
Ive been reading this forum religiously ever since I found it a couple months ago. There for a while I though I was the only person who wanted to make new flashlights on their lathe.
Boy was I wrong. But now that I also have a mill and have gotten fairly decent on the lathe, Ive started working on some of the ideas that have been churning in my head.
So my question is, Is the kroll clickie switch the only commercially availible tailswitch that us "made from scratchers" have in our arsenal? I know Ive seen mention of a ram switch in various threads but it didnt sound too impressive. Dont get me wrong the kroll sounds great, but if we wanted something a little differnt for a project is there anything else availible, or do we have to engineer our own?
Thanks for the help,
Tim
