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.

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.

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.

Depending on the type of electrical box you have, you may find like myself, that this works only on boxes that do not have any lips, or molding of any kind around the box. In one case, the box's own molding that had the stripped out screw was too big for this clip to hold on. In other cases, the walls of the box (old style bacalite) were too thick and the clip wouldn't stay on. In other words, I found myself replacing the whole box rather than use these.

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!

I'm always amazed to find a product that solves my problem just perfectly and this is one of them. My 80s condo has outlet boxes whose plastic has become incredibly fragile and the screw holes just dissolve. These little clips slot in perfectly and let me attach the outlet securely. They're expensive, but definitely worth their price.

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.
