This high quality Ridgid replacement part is used with wet and dry vacuums. It is an authentic OEM sourced item, not an aftermarket imitation. This toggle switch allows user to turn the unit on and off. Because switches use mechanical internals, they will degrade and wear out over time, eventually requiring replacement.
