What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this low-voltage electrical box for its simplicity and reliability in retrofit installations. Most highlight how easy and quick it installs in existing walls without stud access, with secure wing tabs and a reliable grip against drywall. Reviewers consistently recommend it for running CAT6, HDMI, coax, and network cables, appreciating its compact design and professional finish behind wall plates. Many value its affordability and sturdy construction, often buying extras for their tool kits. A few report wing tabs cracking during installation or minor flush-fit issues with standard plates, though most still recommend it despite these occasional drawbacks.

Works great

Would Recommend

Great way to let me run ethernet through the house without having to tear up a lot of dry wall. Only problem is the wall plates do not fit flush to the wall, there is a small gap.

No template

Would Recommend

The product worked great and is an excellent product. I would add a template for laying out and cutting the drywall. A normal home owner would experience difficulty making the right size hole for the product since you cannot place it against the wall and trace. I used a level and a measuring tape to get the dimension and draw on the wall. Keep it easy and keep it simple.
