Get some spares, IME some of them just up and die. I picked up some from local supply houses for several dollars each then ordered two batches of 50 each from Amazon for less than half price of local supply. No difference in the failure rate.
You can get the same mini toggles from guitar shops for a whole lot more. Hardware stores also have strong pricing. Performance seems to be a toss of the dice.
Be careful not to get the micro toggles unless that is what you want. They are the super small toggles occasionally used for mounting electronic feature controls in place of a slide switch under a chassis.
Mini toggles

Hi Tom, Thanks for the reply! Are those mini switches with 1/4" mounting lugs? If so and they are rated at 10 amps/125 volts could you send me a link to where you found them on Amazon?
