you can get these to feed paper towels by placing a walkie talkie next to the sensor and keying it up it will feed until you release

As Peter Griffin says (about those air dryers):

"These things never get 'em completely dry."

And right he his! =P I'll try this next time I go to O'Charlie's!

you should add that when you pull on it it will make a click noise then the light blinks.

Interesting - but do you really need more paper to wipe your hands dry?

I do this all the time at Costco or whatever. Pull it really slowly, and it doesn't rip. Thanks for showing it here. Nice job.

yeah, I thought your instructable would be about the small slider switches, like dacker said

...or you could do what I've done at work. Just about any small flathead screwdriver can be used to open-up the dispenser. I've used a small one on my Leatherman Wave. Once you open the dispenser, there is a small switch marked, "Short, Medium, and Long" (or S, M, and L.) Set the switch to medium (or long), then close the cover. No more wet hands!
