I don't know this switch but I can read and the first thing I saw was this:

You do not want a momentary switch for this application. So if the Menards label is correct then this is a momentary switch, if their label is wrong then the next question was barrel length. You should have room for a nut on the inside, followed by a lock washer then the housing and the final nut.
Go to the store and see if it spring loaded to center or if it will stay in either on position with out being held. If it stays then the menards page has the wrong label.
I would still not use this switch because I'd like a simple toggle on/off with out a center position.

It should work, but why do you want it? If I have an emergency and have to bang the switch off, I don't want to go past center to "on" again, even if it is momentary.

Center id off. down is on, to turn off go back to center, like a normal switch, now I am doing turning/lathe work,, I chucked up a heavy, I want to get it centered, I just have to flip the switch "up" spring loaded, "jog/momentarily to get a turn on it.
