    It is a switch with a bad attitude. They like to mame and kill.

    It is a switch that will either cut all power from the battery to the engine or a switch that will cut the power to your fuel pump. You are better off buying an alarm. If you install a kill switch, they are not too hard to find and jump.

  • Kills whatever device you have it hooked up to.

    For example, for a gokart, a kill-switch would kill the engine incase something happened like an accident.

    Or a jetski has that cord connected to you, ya know? That's a kill switch incase you fall off.

    You can buy them anywhere, try asking your local auto parts store. Walmart might even have some.

    A switch that kills all connectivity between the ignition and the starter. You can pick them up anywhere... its just a switch and you wire it in. Any switch!

    They are good for anti theft reasons, as a thief may not find the switch depending on where you place it.
