What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this electrical box for straightforward installation in existing drywall without stud access, with most describing the process as simple—trace, cut, and tighten. Many commend its secure hold and sturdy construction compared to alternatives. However, some report design issues with screw tabs that twist excessively or fail to engage properly, occasionally preventing secure placement. Despite these concerns, the vast majority find it reliable, durable, and valuable for quickly adding outlets to walls, making it a widely recommended choice for retrofit applications.

Highly Recommend

Would Recommend

Great old work outlets, the punch outs in the back are a little tough to get started so that you can get your Romex through but they do a great job of gripping it once it's in. These are cheap and work great for the purpose. Overall highly recommend.

Bought 2. Both the faps never popped up. Then after I messed with it, they stripped out.
