[TheForge] Power hammer Vs air hammer

[Grover Richardson]

Though the 1939 switch is operated at 6 Volts, most switches have multiple
ratings.  Look in the catalogs.  Newark, Digikey, Allied.  The amount of
current changes with the Voltage to limit the power dissipated across the
contacts when they open under load.

Still, Dave's point is correct.
