What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this product for reliably stabilizing loose electrical boxes in older homes, particularly in plaster, stone, and thick drywall. Most highlight how it transforms wobbly outlets and switches into rigid fixtures under constant use, with many calling it essential for professionals and DIYers alike. Installation is quick and requires no special tools. Reviewers appreciate its flexibility to conform to irregular spaces and effectiveness where traditional screws fail. A few report minor compatibility issues with certain box models or note the finger length could be longer for deeper walls, but these concerns are rare and do not diminish overall satisfaction.

No idea how other reviewers made it work, but I couldn't. Raco marketing: Please show how this is supposed to work with your boxes, or list compatible boxes.
