Disclosed is an apparatus for selectively permitting electricity to flow
to a power tool having a power cord. The apparatus comprises a body
having an exterior surface and having a passage therethrough. The passage
contains an electrical relay having an electrical input side and an
electrical output side. A switch on the exterior surface of the body
selectively closes the electrical relay upon activation by a user. A
mounting portion on the body is adapted for securing the body to the
power tool and a power receiving portion in the body receives the power
cord of the power tool. The mounting portion has transfer wires
associated therewith in electrical connection between the output side of
the relay and a power switch of the power tool. The power cord is in
electrical connection with the electrical input side of the relay.
