I have 2 complaints about the cutoff switches presently in use. 1) there are too many types, they vary widely in shape among manufacturers. 2) The present shapes, many of them anyway, are difficult to implement (attach) without prying and I believe get 'permanent keys' attached to them which completely defeats the safety purpose intended. Another reason for 'permanent keys' is reason #1 above, to avoid 'hunting' for the key. Between the two a lot of safety vanishes. Please take this into mind if a large redo of keys is to take place, perhaps an international effort is needed. Thank you.
