This is an OEM sourced replacement part used on a variety of Handheld Trimmers and Blowers/Vacuums. Switches are a commonly replaced part in power tools, handling on/off operations. Because switches use mechanical internals, they will degrade and wear out over time, eventually requiring replacement. It has a plastic body and it is sold individually.
To replace this switch you would need a Screwdriver.
• First make sure the tools is not plugged in
• Then you want to remove screws used to hold two pieces of housing set together
• Disconnect wires from the old switch and remove it from the housing
• Place the new switch in the housing and connect wires to it
• Reassemble the housing

The new off/on switch was an identical match for the broken switch. After replacement the new switch worked perfectly.

Exactly what I needed
Part fit flawlessly, hookup was easy, my trimmer is back to shutting off with a switch instead of pulling the plug wire (and occasionally getting quite a shock).

Genuine O.E.M. Replacement parts are always best.
In the middle of rehabbing my string trimmer I found out the switch was faulty. This part arrived fairly quick and is a real MTD part not no-name junk. Satisfied!
