Heater Control Rheostat/Switch

Has anybody used either of the two units listed below?  My question is:  Do either of these have an "OFF" position that disconnects the power from the heater?  Looking at the rear of the one in the first link it appears that this may not switch the power.  The one in the second link is unknown.

Thanks  Keith

The first one definately has - the separate pole with the screw in it would be an isolated pole. The second one is hard to tell but the bottom looks just like a FC one and I would expect that it does have an off position.

Hi Nick

I ended getting the top one from the USA.  They are a good crowd to deal with and was here within a week.  It looks to be made really well.  I havn't installed it yet but I can see no problems.
