So since the old original switch was broken, I decided to take it apart to compare.

**FYI, you can easily drill out the rivets to take these switches apart and simply replace them with some small (I used M3 buttonheads) screws and nuts to put it back together. I did it numerous times with the cheap chinese switch; disassembling/reassembling, trying to get it to work properly.

Can you see why the chinese switch won't quite do the job?? Must've been a Friday evening switch





It's missing the circuit breaker contact, as you can see at the top of the picture.
