What Customers Are Saying

The electrical old work box is generally a well-constructed and useful product for home improvement projects. Many users found it easy to install and suitable for adding new outlets, switches, or wiring without extensive drywall work. However, some customers reported issues with the screws stripping easily, ineffective wire clamps, and problems with the tabs or dimensions. While the product works well for most users, there are potential quality control concerns to consider.
