“I configured the cutout switch to be a two-way "this way or that way" switch. It sends electricity down one stretch of fence or the other. It does its job well. It conducts well and there is no risk of shock when throwing the switch. It can be converted back to a standard 2-way pretty quickly. On the downside the plastic body is very thin and weak. I cracked two when attaching them to wooden posts. They still work but for the price they can afford to be made of tougher plastic.”
