What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this electrical box for its reliability and straightforward installation in existing walls without locating studs, making it ideal for retrofitting and remodeling projects. Most appreciate its sturdy construction, secure mounting, and adequate internal depth for standard receptacles and GFI outlets. However, some report issues with rigid plastic material causing screws to break or cross-thread during installation, and several note clamping tabs that don't swing out fully or grip properly on larger wall cutouts. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider it a practical, dependable solution for adding outlets in finished spaces.

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.
