Review: Astounded by such a small simple item. - I really do not know why it took me so long to purchase this item. I had it in my wish list for a while before I actually purchased a couple of them. What is so crazy is how at my ago you can be so astounded by such a simple item as this I-socket auto switch. All it really is, is a switched delay, but it is awesome and makes life so much easier. Electric tools are just like gasoline. Like a car requires more gas to accelerate than it does to cruise. Tools require more current draw (amps) to power up than they require to run. This switch simply delays a vacuum or another tools startup for a few seconds so that the main tool can start up and run at its normal current draw before the other tool is powered on. This keeps you from drawing to much current from one circuit at the same time, thus no tripped breakers. The only tool in my shop that I did not have my main dust collector hooked up to is the miter. Simply because I brought my miter saw in after I ran all the hoses and fittings for the rest of my tools and I just did not feel like modifying the setup for the miter saw. So I never had any type of dust collection on the miter saw. Anyway so far I love this little i-socket. It has been working great and havent tripped a breaker yet. Even though I have a sub-panel added to my garage workshop and all of the outlets in the garage are 20 amp 120 and 20 amp 240 and they are all on their own circuit. For anyone using a regular old wet dry vac for tool dust collection and are tired of turning the vacuum on and the tool on. Id highly recommend this Review: Excellent for table saw & shop vac - I recently purchased this product, so I cannot comment on its long-term durability, but in use, it is GREAT! It has two outlets into one of which I plug my table saw, and into the other I plug my "on" shop vac which is connected to the exhaust port of the saw. Although the vac switch is "on" the vacuum doesn't run until I turn on the saw. Then, the very best thing about the socket autoswitch is that the vac keeps running for about seven seconds AFTER I turn off the saw before it too shuts off. My only problem is that so far, this outlet works so well that I keep switching it between two different shop vacs (with different diameter hoses) and a few different machine tools. If it were less expensive, I'd buy a couple more of these autoswitch outlets. ## Features - HOW IT WORKS. Patented automatic vacuum switch uses an on-Board Micro-Controller to monitor and control current when two large motors try to power-up at the same time. Prevents circuit overload by automatically delays vacuum turn-off by 7 seconds. - EFFECTIVENESS. Runs the vacuum only when you are working so you save time and electricity. Reduces airborne toxin that can lead to many health problems. Reduces work area noise by running the vacuum only when you use your tool. - BEST FOR medium duty workloads in the home workshop and on the job site. It’s actuation threshold of about 0.7 amps (85 watts at 120V) makes it perfectly suited for most Miter Saws, Table Saws, Power Sanders and Routers and extends the life of your vacuum. - ELECTRONICS. A software embedded micro-controller controls the in rush of current when the motor starts up to help eliminate overload of the circuit. Once the tool stops, it provides power to the vacuum for seven seconds to clean out the inlet pipe. - TECHNICAL SPECS.

Or is it portable (e.g. can I easily use it at a different worksite?)** A: It is portable. It pluds into your electrical outlet and your vac and saw (drill, sander, etc) plug into it. You can unplug you eqip and move it to another location. Great product, only draw back for mme is I need another one. **Q: if my chop box and vac are both 15amps(30amp total) how does this work without popping a breaker** A: The rating on the tools is the maximum current draw, which for motors occurs at startup. It can be 3 to 8 times the normal operating current. My table saw is rated at 16 amps. My shop vac is 6. But neither draws the 3 to 8 times current at the same time because this switch staggers startup. I just received my switch and it's working great so far. **Q: Is this UL approved?** A: Yes, according to the product description and the UL symbol on the label. **Q: Can you plug an outlet strip into this and then plug multiple machines into the strip, thus avoiding the need for a separate switch for each machine?** A: it would power and turn off whatever was plugged into it - my only concern with a power strip would be to overload the plug itself! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Astounded by such a small simple item. *by E***S on May 3, 2016* I really do not know why it took me so long to purchase this item.

It lets both bandsaw, mitersaw worklight and router LED on without trigger the vacuum; a good safety reminder that power is connected. The delay start help with the inrush current to smooth out the power kick. Also the delay off helps tidying up the wood bits after cuts; it also acts a reminder to hold and wait until the vacuum off which is almost the same time as the mitersaw stop spinning. Would buy again. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/13289044-dgc-products-i-socket-intelligent-autoswitch-with-ports-for-power](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/13289044-dgc-products-i-socket-intelligent-autoswitch-with-ports-for-power) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
