Best Foot Switches of 2025

"I absolutely love this for my Christmas tree! I've wanted one for a long time, and I can't believe I waited so long. It's perfect, and honestly, it's pretty fun to use. It's super easy to push on and off with my foot. I highly recommend it!"

"I decided to use this foot switch for my scrolls so I could keep both hands free while working. I did have to zip tie the cords together to avoid any tangling. It would have been great if the female connector was on the foot switch, so I only had one cord going to the outlet."

"I recently started using a Normally Off Deadman Switch for my woodworking, particularly for fractal wood burning. I was pleasantly surprised by its durability despite its affordable price. It provides an added layer of safety by requiring a press-and-hold action to keep the power on. This switch has become essential in my routine, ensuring that power cuts off immediately when released, which gives me peace of mind."

"I wanted something to control my vacuum attached to power saws. I kept forgetting to turn on the vacuum before making cuts. This foot control puts the vacuum startup under my foot, and it works great from a reputable brand. The build quality is excellent, and the price is fantastic."

"Initially skeptical about its durability, I bought this foot pedal for my commercial-grade 1HP meat grinder. Surprisingly, it works just fine! If I get a few seasons out of this very affordable unit, it will be more than worth it. I love the hands-free operation."

"I purchased this WEN pedal specifically for my Yardworks 9-ton electric log splitter. I'm very impressed and happy with my choice. It has made splitting firewood safer and more efficient. Now, I can keep one hand free while operating. The pedal is well built, with a steel case, rubber feet, and a ribbed push pad. It’s incredibly easy to use, taking no more than 10 minutes to get accustomed to it."

"I find this foot switch to be very well built. It's metal and works great with my shop vac connected to my miter saw."

"This is a great product, but keep in mind it's a momentary switch. It only supplies power while my foot is on the pedal. I was looking for one that keeps power until the next press, but the quality of components is indeed high."

"I'm really pleased with this foot control switch. The 6' long cord is 14AWG, which is sturdier than 18AWG and rated for 15 amps. I'm using it for an electric log splitter and have had no issues activating it multiple times in a minute. Very happy with my purchase!"

"I use this switch on my meat grinder, and it works great for stopping the grinder when my tube is full."

"After my old foot switch failed, I got this one. It's holding up well so far, though I had to secure it because it's a bit lightweight."

"I bought this for my table saw at a friend's suggestion. It functions perfectly and helped me avoid a serious injury when it cut back a piece of wood. This switch is invaluable!"

"My wife and I absolutely love these! They were ultra easy to install, and the price and quality are great. They work perfectly and look just fine."

"I was thrilled to find this foot pedal for my floor lamp with a faulty turn pin. I almost tossed it, but this was a $12 fix that I’d recommend for any lamp that's hard to reach!"

"I really appreciate not having to bend down to plug in the cord anymore. It makes life so much easier!"

"This product works great, exactly how it was supposed to. I appreciate the sturdy construction."

"I found that the pedal feels sturdy, and while the internal switch seems okay, buyer beware. The switch is rated for 15 amps, but the included wire is only 16 gauge, which is rated for 13 amps. I plan to buy some 12-14 gauge wire to replace it."

"I installed this product in a remote location and tested it on the bench. It seems to work well, and I also want to thank you for the prompt delivery."

“I found this foot switch to be sturdy and easy to wire. I utilized a fourteen-gauge AC cable and connected it in a way that allows power through the pedal until it’s pressed. I created two pedals, one for my table saw and another for my drill press, which has made my work much safer and more efficient. Overall, it's a solid and well-made pedal!”

“This foot switch exceeded my expectations. The heavy-duty cast aluminum casing and reliable mechanical operation are commendable. I appreciate the great quality at an excellent price, although I wish it came with some instructions for general users. Regardless, I managed to wire it up easily and it worked perfectly!”

“I was looking for a replacement footswitch for a customer and this product turned out to be perfectly robust for high usage. I’m very pleased with its performance and durability, as it can withstand average 250-300 cycles a day. Definitely a great choice!”

"I've bought this foot switch twice because it's well-made and works as advertised. I replaced the piggy-back cords on my sump pumps, and now I can control anything plugged in with just a foot press. It's perfect for my dremel and meat grinder."

"As a tech worker, I often use a table saw alone, and this foot switch is a lifesaver. It allows me to momentarily turn off the saw while cutting, making it much safer to work with large sheets of material. My previous switch lasted over 20 years, so I trust this one will do the same."

"I operate a music studio and found this foot switch to be the best deal around. The solid construction and effective action make it far better than the cheap plastic ones. I use it for various equipment, and it's been a great buy for my needs."

“I installed LED fog lights that would blind oncoming drivers. It was frustrating to lean forward to turn them off and on. I wired this switch in 'normally closed' on my 2017 Accord firewall, allowing me to reach it easily with my toe. It seems to be holding up well.”

“This plastic foot pedal is easy to install and works great! My company has used this type for years. However, I did find that if anything other than a human foot hits it, it tends to break. It should be noted that my work environment is around steel, which might not be an issue for everyone. Overall, it’s a great product, just remember it’s made of plastic!”

“I bought this pedal for my Hitbox TIG welder. While it’s not a variable output pedal and only functions as on/off, it does the job. I did notice it’s a bit picky about where to press, but that’s not a deal breaker. For the price, it seems like it will last a while.”

"I found it so nice to dim my lights on my china cabinet again; the dimmer seems to be of good quality. Thanks a lot!"

"This was exactly what I needed to replace a lamp cord that was chewed up by a pet. Easy to replace for anyone with basic wiring skills or willing to follow a YouTube tutorial. Having a spare is always a plus!"

"I installed it according to the instructions for a string of dimmable LED lights. It worked fine for a month, but now it doesn't allow full brightness. It dims the lower half but stops at about half brightness."
