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.

Junk

 Would Not Recommend

The boxes made so the screws actually fit outside the box which means you can’t just cut a rectangle and put these in like all the other ones I’ve been using for decades. The tabs do not swing completely out of the way so they are in the way when you try to insert this into the wall. This is poorly designed and poorly thought out.

Good overall

 Would Recommend

A little difficult to break the tabs off the back for the cord to fit through, but a screwdriver did the trick
