You may think this is cheap, but it works well enough. I pulled the color
coded plastic handles off an old pair of jumper cables and pushed them on
the cables before attaching them to the switch. I put the red one on the
cable that's always hot as a reminder! The plastic handles are held on by
the usual tie-wraps. There's also some goop you can paint on that forms a
rubbery insulation, but I wanted easy access to the switch in case it
needed replacing (it did). For the small terminals on the back, if you're
not using them, they could be covered with vacuum port blank-off nipples.
