It’s OK Helen, it was said partly in jest, to point out that half the country appear to be awash in them whilst the other half is panicking J. I currently have 2 clients who find this is the only switch that they can manage and I only have 1 spare left as contingency L

In my last job, we counted them up once and I counted 19 of them- there are probably millions!

Isn't it traditional that there are 4 or 5 Toby Churchill click switches in the bottom of every cupboard in every SLT department in the UK!

I reckon there's a lifetimes supply in circulation out there. We should have an amnesty and then stock-pile them.

Hi,

It was news to me that Toby Churchill Click Switches are no longer available! I'm disappointed that they are no longer available as I found them useful for patient's with MND and disappointed that I had no word from supplier nor contractor on lack of availability.

Does anyone else use something equivalent?

Micro Light switches don't have the dimples and are thicker in design for instance.
