Slack switch .........

[Dustydazzler]

I purchased a box of new Mk 20amp switches from eBay , and installed 2 of them today.
One of the switches feels quite ‘slack’ for want of a better word when you switch the switch on/off. Not the normal clunk click I would expect.
It does fully switch on/off.
Possible reasons ? Cheap construction ?

That was my first thought, but they look new/sealed

Might just be a iffy one I had

The clue is on the box.
Does it say “NK”?

A couple feel a bit slack , not the usual hard positive click I usually expect with Mk gear

Only 8 more to use up

I used to use mk all the time but stopped when their light switches changed to that naf design with them all on the side

Throw them in the bin if you have any doubts about there quality, cost of a call back compared to a £3 dodgy switch. Not worth the saving against the cost and damage to your reputation
