What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise these electrical boxes for straightforward installation and excellent value, with most noting the wings grip securely and flush mounting saves time without drywall removal. Many emphasize the low price and reliable performance for occasional use. However, several report the plastic locking tabs and screws break or strip easily during tightening, with some preferring older or metal versions for durability. Despite these concerns, most customers find the boxes effective for retrofitting outlets and switches into existing walls and consider them a worthwhile investment for the cost.

Great box for old work.
Would RecommendGreat box for old work. Was perfect for moving an outlet from one side to another of an existing wall stud.
Works in existing walls
Would RecommendThese boxes work well with remodels. The dimensions make it easy to match a cutout and still leave room to tighten the box

Fast, durable, and convenient
Would RecommendDeep enough for easy wiring; made of durable materials. The old-work "wings" make for a very fast and secure installation.
