POWERTEC Deluxe Push Stick for Table Saw, Router Table, Band Saw & Jointer, Dual Ergonomic Handles w/Max Grip, Safety Push Tool for Wood working and Hand Protection 2PK (71338)

I purchased the Powertec Safety Push Tools (2-pack) from Amazon to keep my hands safe while cutting on my table saw, and honestly—I should’ve bought these a long time ago. They’re L-shaped, made of strong, durable plastic, and help me feed wood through the blade while keeping a comfortable (and safe!) distance. The design is smart and accurate, offering good control without putting my hands in the danger zone. Functionality-wise, they’ve been a game-changer, especially for smaller or narrower cuts that used to make me a little nervous.This isn’t one of those flashy shop tools, but it’s absolutely essential if you're doing regular woodworking. Also the shape of the handle provides outstanding grip and fit to the wood.If you enjoy woodworking and also enjoy having all 10 fingers—grab these and cut smart, not scary.Trust me, your hands will thank you (and so will your nerves)!

Good price for a basic push stick/block.

It works very well with my Dewalt 7485, especially when I trimming the 8 ft 2x4, with safety and confidence. The build quality is quite good, for daily usage. I am happy to have it.

I'm not a fan of the need to use spade connectors. They protrude from the sides and make it a very tight fit inside the box. Would be better if the connections oriented the wiring rearward and did not require the use of spade connectors. The POWERTEC 71834 Deep Switch Box is deep enough to accommodate this switch...but just barely.

Good Product

I've been living too long with just one push stick. This was a quick, low cost way to open up more options. At 9/16" wide it's thinner than what I was using so there are more possibilities. No more scanning the shop for any manner of scrap to get something done and then spend time pulling out the splinters. The grippy rubber cushion really makes a difference and seems fairly robust. Time will tell if that cushion lasts. I think it will but, even if it doesn't, this will still be usable. The handle is an inch wide with a relief for the pinky at the bottom. It's curved so its purchase presents well to the hand. The handle is not solid so there is plenty of places where dirt or sweat can escape to prevent distraction or slipping and maintain tactile feedback so there is no need to avert your eyes from your work or reposition during a process. I am pleased with the purchase as it exceeded my expectation and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

I hate using my table saw. Not because it doesn't work, but I feel like it's the most dangerous tool I own. It only came with a single push stick which is fine for what it is, but if you are making a variety of cuts with a variety of different sizes of wood, there's no good one-size-fits-all stick, at least in my opinion. This set of 5 various sizes and form factors of push sticks/blocks helps a lot, giving fine control when needed, and giving larger gripping area when needed. The grips feel very ergonomic and I definitely feel more secure when using the appropriate stick.

Bought to replace the switch on my early 2000s Woodtek table saw after the buttons were getting stuck and hard to press. This switch looked the same and was a budget friendly option so I bought it. It didn't quite bolt up to my saw's original bracket/switch configuration. The connections were the same but I had to grind out some clearance for the switch to fit in the mount and enlarge/elongate some holes for it to bolt on. Once that was done the switch and saw worked great and had the same feel to the buttons when pressing them. I would buy it again. I don't feel like the extra trouble was too much to deduct a star for so I did give it 5 stars.
