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.

Perfect for installing a new box in existing wall
Would RecommendPerfect for installing an outlet box in an existing wall, I simply traced the outline of the box on the wall and used my multitool saw to cut it out. Box fit perfectly and the tabs hold it in place. Very simple and painless.
