Default Battery disconnect switch, which one?

I was looking at getting the Flaming River push/pull FR1003-2 or the Summit push/pull SUM-830053. Dose anyone know if there’s any difference in quality and durability?

Yeah, they are both rated the same amperage.
Probably just re-labeled.

I've had a summit brand for quite some time, not a single issue with it. Its a very simple switch to be honest.

make sure you get the big one , We have done testing with a multi-meter and with the little one on our SC car the voltage drop to the starter under a load was 4 to 5 volts under starting load with the smaller one, and negligible with the big one.

I use the Flaming river one , but summit Pro Shop one , is just as good
