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.

Wrong Dimension!

Would Not Recommend

The product was fine. The description on the website was incorrect or the employees pulled the wrong item. Either way, I didn't get what I ordered.

Solid build. Easy to install. Great price.

Would Recommend

This box fits all thickness of wall. Mine was 5/8. It did not rotate as I tightened it. It seems more flush to the wall with its 2 point contact than the studounted boxes were. I just traced it on the wall (minus the tabs) and it slid right in and mounted well. Then I was able to push fish tape through the port to pull my wires back in.
