Top ten off switches

#1 - The emergency off switch
What makes this switch really impressive is its status as a last resort. When you use this bad boy, you'd better mean it or you're going to need someone with a key to come and reverse your decision.

We love this button -- its classical good looks make it a universal crowd pleaser. But it's practical too: you wouldn't want some pathetic little recessed switch when your data centre is burning to the ground because you thought it would be a good idea to fix a broken fuse with a paperclip.

Available from Dortronics the 5210-KR can take a continuous 10 amps at 120 volts. There's also an option for a plexiglass cover to prevent accidental triggering.
