I don't remember who made the post about the sears auto switch. I purchased one am I am not totally pleased, unless I am doing something wrong. There are three outlets and a switch for automatic mode. If the shop vac is plugged into the top outlet next to the switch it comes on regardless of the switch position and tool will not. If the sander is in the top and the shopvac in one of the two bottom outlets in automatic mode when the sander is powered the shop vac automatically comes on when in automatic mode. In manual mode only the sander will work. Should it not be the other way meaning that in manual mode the shop vac will be powered and in auto mode it would be controlled by the tool? If I want to only use the shop vac I would have to unplug it and use another outlet. I do think I will try a night light in the other outlet by turning on the night light the shop vac will be powered. I have also been considering using a six outlet power strip. that way I could plug in both of the hand sanders, my router table, bench sander and sliding miter saw. Then I would only have to move the vacuum hose and when the tool is turned on the shop vac will be activated. --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.geocities.com/lenny_mchugh/ Lenny
