Seems to work great in my plastic shop. I currently have this running a Belt Sander. I am considering purchasing more for a couple other tools. The only complaint I have is like many other reviewers, The cable coming out of the side seems very impractical. Most likely you will use this with the  top portion of the pedal facing the device you are using, there for the cord coming from the device will go that way and most likely the outlet that it will be plugged into. Due to this set up, the cable coming from the pedal sticks out to the right. This set up could cause more of a tripping hazard. Also, if you do not have the pedal mounted to a board or to the floor, the very nice and study cable pushes the pedal around, so depending on your set up you may need to move the pedal around each time to get it into the desired position. This may not happen if the cord came out of the top.
