[RE-wrenches] AC disconnect options

[Louis Woofenden]

Hi Andrew,

We haven't been able to get any of the utilities we work with in Arizona 
to accept these. They want a lockable disconnect, with a visible handle. 
I'd be interested to hear if any others have had luck with this.

Best,
Louis Woofenden
