I am looking for a off/on rocker switch to install on a 15Amp outside extension cord .Would prefer it to be spring loaded;but could do without. One I had years ago was on a drill press. I remember it was about 1"x3"; was a brown (Bakelite) thing with the switch on the side.I have called a few electrical places; all they have are ones for cheapo lamp cords. Am using a foot switch now; but would like it to be handheld. One place told me they quit making them because of Safety reasons.

outside needs to have a NEMA 4x rating
