PSI Woodworking LR110-3 110-Volt Long Ranger Dust Collector Switch Review
Introduction
If you’re tired of walking across your shop just to flip on your dust collector, the PSI Woodworking LR110-3 Long Ranger III might be exactly what you need. This 110V remote switch lets you control your dust collector from anywhere in your shop — no more trekking back and forth between your machine and the collector for quick cuts.

Why a Remote Switch Makes Sense
Here’s the reality: most of us don’t bother turning on our dust collector for those quick 1-2 minute cuts because it’s just too inconvenient to walk over, flip the switch, walk back, make the cut, then walk all the way back to turn it off. Those little cuts add up, and before you know it, your shop is dusty and your lungs are paying the price.
The Long Ranger III solves this problem. Just clip the remote to your apron or tool belt, and you can fire up your dust collector from anywhere within 50+ yards — right from where you’re working.
Pro Tip: Pair with a powerful dust collector like the JET DC-650 for complete convenience.

Pros & Cons
Pros:
✅ Turns your dust collector on/off from anywhere in the shop
✅ Saves time and unnecessary walking
✅ Helps you actually use your dust collector for short cuts
✅ Reduces energy waste (no more leaving it running all day)
✅ Easy to install and operate
✅ RF signal won’t interfere with other equipment
Cons:
❌ Only rated for 1.5 HP motors — check your dust collector’s specs
❌ Requires 110V power (not suitable for 220V setups)
❌ Remote requires batteries (not included)
How It Compares
If you have a 220V dust collector system, check out the Long Ranger 3 220V version (LR220-3) instead. For most home shops with standard 110V equipment, the LR110-3 is the right choice.
Final Verdict
The PSI Woodworking LR110-3 Long Ranger III earns a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars. It does exactly what it promises — gives you wireless control over your dust collector from anywhere in your shop. The only reason it doesn’t get a perfect score is that it won’t work with larger 2 HP+ collectors or 220V systems.
If you’ve been leaving your dust collector running all day because turning it on and off is too much hassle, this remote switch will pay for itself in no time — both in energy savings and cleaner air.
Pro Tip: For complete workshop dust control, add an air filtration system.
