Compete kit w/ instructions.
Porter Cable does not make it easy, but switch fits and works well. Needs a little spray of lubrication, so it clicks on and off until it breaks in.

arrived quick and got my belt sander back in business.
Looked like an OEM part and swaped out very easily, allowing me to keep this tool going. No surprises, fairly straight forward repair process. The biggest advantage was the speed with which the part was delivered.

It's pretty straight forward, take out all the necessary screws to separate the handle then once inside make sure when cutting the wires off of the old switch to cut them as close to the switch housing as you can. I didn't and ended up having to solder new wire extensions on in order to make them long enough. Other than that it's pretty self explanatory.
