the pistol grip one is neat.
An old sowing machine foot pedal works really great as well.
I used an old heavy duty straight CW key for a foot switch too...that worked
great since you could adjust tension and height and all that so that you
could have the perfect foot switch for anything....you could even
potentially use it for cw.
