Great idea, poor construction.

Great idea, poor construction. I guess the plastic used just isn't robust enough for outside use in the sun and elements. The mounting plate broke in 2 within a year, and the plastic mounting tabs the switch bolts go through broke within 6 months of that. I'd be understanding if it were $2.98 on Amazon, but this is a name brand part with a name brand price. This is Southeast Alabama so rarely do we see freezing temps in the dead of winter. Just a lot of sunshine all year.

Broke right after installed. When you tighten the wire at the pivot point and move the handle, it breaks at the base. Was able to get a second one to work by buying a longer bolt and a second nut, so I could tighten the wire without locking the handle in place.

We apologize for this experience and are happy to help. The nut only needs to be hand tightened to provide a secure connection with the wire. This will not over-stress the space where the handle goes in. Please contact our Consumer Relations Team at 1-855-5-ZAREBA (1-855-592-7322) for additional assistance.
Overall good design, but cheap plastic base

I have always had good luck with most Zareba products. This is a switch is rare exception. The stainless steel hardware and overall "feel" of this switch is very good. However, the plastic base is far to light and flimsy and really detracts. In the winter, snow and ice sometime drift up on my fence and put pressure on the wire... I have had multiple switches break because of this... always the plastic base. I learned to tie the wire off with a screw in plastic insulator BEFORE the switch to protect these delicate devices. This past weekend I was installing a couple on a wood post, and the screws on two of them (despite my care) actually DROVE RIGHT THROUGH the plastic base. I needed to fix them with washers. Zareba... please strengthen the plastic base... and you will have a homerun with this product!
