The SwitchGrip is used to assist with the installation and removal of light switches. I came across this tool after we purchased the PlugGrip for our remodel. We were just as amazed with the SwitchGrip as we were with the PlugGrip. The SwitchGrip must have cut the time it took to replace the switches in half! The built-in wire cutter and bender worked really well. When we were done we turned the power on and the SwitchGrip beeped to let us know that it was working. It was amazing! Highly recommended!
