    Hi everyone,
    Does anyone know of a company that makes good quality on-off and on-off-on electrical switches. The NAPA switches used to be good, but now they carry the same poor quality Chinese made garbage like Auto zone and the other chain stores. I don't know what marine names would be quality but I'd imagine boat stuff would be good. Any ideas?

    I forgot to actually answer your question. Honeywell, carlingswitch, and eaton aerospace make great products.

    If it's switches for your jeep in particular, try ronfrancis.com (ron francis wiring). I just ordered a kill switch to put in the positive battery cable, and a low-pressure brake switch -- they likely have many other kinds -- ronnie

    I would look at Marine switches too, they are weather resistant. Good luck what ever you choose.
