As Halloween is approaching, you may find yourself in need of a simple hand-help pushbutton trigger. I put up a web site the shows step by step how to make them. The site is here:

And here's a few pics to give you an idea of what we're talking about:
Its a rather simple but robust design.

Re: Simple Pill Bottle Pushbutton Trigger
Oh Wow. Good use for used pill bottles. Back in the 70's I had a similar need and I was a smoker back then. So I took one of my plastic cigar holder, (just a round end tube with a bottle cap type closure and mounted a pushbutton in it. worked for many years but got lost in one of my moves. I haven't thought about that thing in a long time thanks

Glad you liked it. I've built quite a few models of that design since then.. very useful as triggers as well as reaction time games, race starting buttons, quiz show "buzzers" etc. Works a treat.apburner wrote:Oh Wow.

I know this is an old post but a snap in style doorbell push button and a large Mueller test clip insulator make a slim and trim cord ended push button.
