Default Manual Cutout Pull cord thing?

I know there are cutouts that you can cap on and off with your hands and block off plates. I know there are electric cutouts with the switch operation. I've also heard of a manual one with like a "string" attached to it. Does anyone have any further info on this? Could i use that method with my existing QTP Stainless Steel Cutouts or must i get the whole package? Cutouts and everything? Thanks.

jegs sells them, there made by Mr. Gasket Co. They only come in 2" and CAST metal. They work kind of like your e-brake with a cable(not exactly a string). I'm not sure if any other company makes them in different sizes.

Like SSDriver said, the problem is the size. Needs to be at least 3"

Someone needs to get on the ball and make a product that's somewhere between the bolted shut cutout and the electronic ones - in larger sizes!

Maybe a lever actuated, spring loaded guillotine rig of some sort.
