Repair Clips - Fix Loose Outlets and Switches - Electrical Wall Box Repair Clips - 10 Pack

This is an awesome product that is much easier to use than replacing the entire electrical box.

I had a loose outlet and this worked exactly as it needed too. I needed to bend the edges apart to fit around the edge of the box, but it took 5 minutes to repair it from start to finish.

It could be extremely frustrating to clip it to your junction box, but once you make it, this product can save the day.In addition I found the screws that come with Leviton outlets are so soft that their threads strips easily going through the bolt hole. Everbilt 6-32 works quite well instead.

I do apartment maintenance. It's not unusual to find broken junction boxes, and it makes it difficult to attach the switch or outlet. This is a perfect repair for those broken boxes. I'll be buying more.

Ultimately these kept me from having to rip the box out, but they were expensive for what they were. They also just don't just slide in, you basically have to remove the receptacle and massage them in there. I used a flat head and had to pry them to get them in there. Also took some finesse to get the screws in and lined up properly.A box of these should be like $5, not the $20 they cost. If you could fold some sheet metal you could probably make your own pretty easy.

Was ready to tear out a junction box with a broken off bottom bolt hole. The socket and faceplate did not sit flush to the wall and is located where it was obvious. Wasn't looking forward to the job because I've "been there before" and know how difficult rewiring a box can be when three feed wires are jammed into a single junction box. Then I found Box Doctor shown on a YouTube video. Bought a box and had it by Prime Two Day. Clipped one onto the bottom edge of the junction box, screwed the socket tight into position and replaced the faceplate! Wow! Wish I had known of Box Doctor before as I have just completed upgrade of our second story and had cut out two other boxes before I found the product. I'm telling friends!

As you can see from my first two images, I had a messy four-gang box with lots of wires and connections. The far right slot had both screw holes broken, and one of them had a broken screw in it. No idea how or when that happened (probably 40 years ago when the house was built as we're the original owners and haven't touched this box before today), but I was ready to rip everything out and start with a new box as there was no way to secure the new switch to the box.No need to do so with this product -- two, $2 clips, and it's good as new.The instruction sheet that's in the box is too small and has poorly contrasting images to be of much use. I suggest the vendor add a QR code on the box with a link to product information and, especially, the video on the product page. Much easier to see how to install the clips on either plastic or metal boxes from the short video found on the product page.They may seem expensive at about $20 at the time of our review but that's about $2 each for the box of ten. Compare that to the cost of replacing a box and you will quickly realize the value.

Did the job as described, though what would make this product even better is different sized slots for different sized screws!! Would be 5 stars but I had to buy different screws and put 2 clips on my outlet box instead of just the one to fix my problem.
