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.

Great for the price

Would Recommend

Fairly easy to install, but can be difficult to poke the tabs out to provide the hole to fit the wires through. Tabs on the screws also need to be moved all the way back before you can install.
