Though the instructions warn that certain types of motors (Shop Vacs were mentioned specifically) might cause interference, I've had no trouble -- the switch performs perfectly from anywhere in my shop, and it's a lot more convenient than running over to the dust collector every time I start up a power tool!

Can't beat the convenience or the price.Jun 23, 2001
By Woodchips
I am really happy with this purchase. Plug one end in to the wall and the collector into the box. It doesn't get any simpler. It is so convenient. My collector is on the other side of the shop. It seems like I always get the saw set up, the stock lined up and then I remember to turn on the collector. The remote has a metal clip that allows for hooking on your belt or apron string. A push of the pressure sensitive button and the collector is running. It's a beautiful thing.

A must have for your dust collecting system!Feb 20, 2006
By Divnbrian
When I first started using my Delta 1 1/2hp dust collector, I would roll it over to my lathe, set it up, turn it on, then turn on the lathe. The collecter was loud, a pain to move and adjust and it got to the point that I did not want to go through the hassle of using it. Well, saw dust is extremely bad for you so I decided to install some duct work to motivate me to use it again. I installed 40' of 5 inch metal pipe and a seperator can to prefilter the saw dust and make it easier on my new filter bags. Now the problem was that I had to cross the room every time I needed to start the dust collector. I am not lazy, I just want to be able to focus on what I am working on.

The answer to my prayers!

I installed the Long Ranger Dust Collector to my DC system and life is now wonderful. When I am working with a tool, all I have to do is push a button and the DC starts or stops. You can every hang in in you pocket with the clip provided. I tested it at a range of 60 feet and it still worked. I also tested about 30 feet away with objects blocking the way and it still worked great. I read a few complaints about blowing breakers. I have not had that problem. Before, I would have to start each piece of equipment and let it get to speed before turning on the next one. Now I can have the DC on a different line so I do not max out my available power.

Works with 2hp HF DCApr 09, 2007
By Robin K "Robin K"
After almost a week of continuous use, the LR110-3 with no problem powers the Harbor Frieght 2 hp DC (the LR110 is rated for 1.5 hp). There is no noticeable loss of power or start up speed to the DC. The relay unit appears ruggedly built, in a metal box, with a beefy 6' power cord and a fastening device to hang on the wall. The remote is in a plastic case. I did drop the remote almost immediately and it stopped working but it turns out the battery that came with the unit went bad, not the remote. It worked fine after replacing the battery. I did take the remote apart to inspect for damage. It has a small circuit card with components soldered on. Good workmanship and I would be hard pressed to see the remote electronics damaged if it were dropped. The remote has a metal clip to attach to belt.

The Long Ranger is a wonderful convenience to turn on/off the dust collection system I have installed in my 1 car size garage. I was using a device that detected power tool current to turn on the DC but that is too frequent on/off for such a large motor and also sometimes doesnt let the DC spin up to full speed before engaging the tool. The Long Ranger is an excellent choice to solve all these issues.

Terrific Remote ActivatorJan 14, 2004

I purchased the 110 V version of the Long Ranger to run a Delta 1-1/2 HP dust collector in my new shop. It works wonderfully. I've used remote devices before in other shops and this one has superior range and it works absolutely every time - through walls, doors, and at distances of over 50'! I'm very satisfied and would highly recommend it for any shop.
