I have it - nothing to write home about. In fact it doesn't even work for
half the battery types I have tried for it (switch is always on). I asked
the maker repeatedly about this and he kept saying he would send me
some piece of metal to insert inside the switch to overcome this but he
never sent it - I gave up in the end.
