Many of the
newer dust extractors (aka shop vacuums) have an outlet activation
switch that enables you to plug a power tool into the dust
extractor, and then automatically turn the extractor on when you
start the power tool. This is a very convenient feature that, once
you use, you won't want to do without. Bit of a put-off if you have
a dust extractor that doesn't have this feature. Not so!
The DGC i-Socket Autoswitch is an inexpensive, plug
and play accessory that allows you to automatically control your
dust extractor or dust collector through a power tool. It's as
simple as plugging the i-Socket into a 120V electrical receptacle,
and then plugging your dust extractor or collector into the 'Vac'
outlet, and your power tool into the 'Tool' outlet on the i-Socket.
You need to turn the dust extractor or collector power switch to the
'on' position. That's it. When ever you start whatever power tool
that's connected to the 'Tool' outlet, your extractor/collector will
fire up. A nice feature is that when you turn the power tool off,
the extractor/collector will continue to run on for 7 seconds, so
that the hose will be cleared of debris.

You can even connect multiple power tools to a power bar; as long as
you use only one power tool at a time you're in business. The only
limitation is that you can use the i-Socket only with power tools
that draw 15 amps or less.
A simple, cost effective solution for increasing shop efficiency.
