I am simultaneously jealous and dismayed this does not make a *ratchet* sound.

Adding a mechanism to make a ratcheting sound should simple enough, it already has gear teeth all along the inside of the arcs.

how is it hooked on the base switch? glue?
MrWobblyHead
Looks like it uses the same screws holes that fix the plate in place. You can see them above and below the actual switch.

That seems more trouble than it's worth.

People climbing mountains is more trouble than it's worth if you look at it objectively. They still do it.

I am. I should be gone by now, but I'm annoying enough to stick around.

Love this except for the switch being reversed so that down is on and up is off. Understand the reason, just bugs my senses a skooch
RxFukitall
This reminds me of a knife switch or what ever you want to call it. You want off to be down so that in an emergency, gravity helps to disconnect the power
MrWobblyHead
Might be a dual switch light circuit. The direction for on and off will change depending on which switch was used last and next.
MinionsNeedToBeAnActualThing
This may be a new concept to Americans, but in other parts of the world, down being on is the standard.

Not the case in Norway

Same here in Iraq.

So the interesting thing is, this is standard in the US because the National Electric Code that sets our standards requires that disconnecting means are "fall-safe". So if a switch or a disconnect wears out, gravity makes the default setting "off".
mjperk
I knew it was a standard in the US but not why. TIL. Thanks!
DerFoxeh
Yup! Also the joke I was taught installing switches is, if you ever flip it upside down it goes from "ON" to "NO"
