Mini toggles

Sure, why not?

Thanks john i was hoping you would reply i didn't know if i could use them amazon has a 10pk for 10 bucks pre wired

Pre-wired for what?

That's a logical question, but the switches should be OK.   I'm guessing they just have pigtails on them?

Looks like it is these.  My concern would be that the wires are only AWG 20. 

10 bucks for 10 switches sounds like a good deal to me.  You can always remove the 20 gauge wires and go heavier if need be.

I'll cut the pig tails off and the picture that PGentieu posted is it thanks to all who responded .

Truthfully, a short run of #20 won't be an issue.  A foot of #20 wire drops .1 volts at 10 amps.  You won't even notice a temperature change in the wire.  Also, the switches are only rated at 6A, so at that current it only drops .06 volts.  Keep the #20 wire unless for some reason it offends you.

To add to this, re-wiring mini toggles is a PITA in my experience, especially with any wire heavier than about 18 AWG. I would just use the pigtails as is like grj says, AS LONG AS each feeder circuit is fused or breakered at say 10 amps max.

In that case, I will be ordering some.  It does look like a deal.

I just purchased these from Amazon to replace a Lionel switch I broke that is used to turn off/on an accessory.  They were only $6 with Prime.
