October 1, 201114 yr  If your like me your shop is a small 2 car garage. The problem I had was that my dust collector is mounted on one wall and with a work bench, table saw, lathe etc...I find sometimes that I can't get to my DC switch because of the maze of tools, wood and clutter so I started looking for a wireless remote for the DC. The ones I found were expensive untill I found this at Home Depot: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202562992/h_d2/ProductDisplay?selectedCatgry=SEARCH+ALL&jspStoreDir=hdus&catalogId=10053&navFlow=3&keyword=070686507032&Ntpc=1&langId=-1&Nu=P_PARENT_ID&storeId=10051&Ntpr=1&ddkey=SearchIt'll handle up to 13 amps, costs $15.00 and works very well. After I bought mine a friend showed me the wireless system he found. His comes with 3 remote controlled switch oulets and they're controled with one remote, they're each on a seperate frequency. He paid $40.00 for his at lowes. They're sold mainly at Christmas time to control christmas lighting.
