Review on Nickel Screws Thread Milled Replacement by Dan Rivera

Revainrating 5 out of 5

ACCESS TO SOCKETS AND SWITCHES IN OLD HOUSES IS OFTEN ONLY ACCESSIBLE WITH LARGE SCREWS!

I brought in an old rundown rental from the 1980's. I hope to upgrade this old place to 2021 standards while also leaving my own unique mark. To this end, I am dealing with poorly secured junction boxes that are set so deep into the walls that regular wall panel screws are useless for fastening switch and outlet wall panels. Unusually long screws are required to hook into the screw location of the switch or outlet and pull against the wall while continuing to tighten. These screws do the job really well with no mess or fuss. Also, some ghetto-style wall tiles have electrical switches pushed back so far that they are also inaccessible. I'll be tearing out this scrap repair soon, but in the meantime I need a plate over my switches, junction boxes, and outlets. These screws make it easy. This is a rental in a good area but the previous owner has discontinued the worst maintenance on the property. My job is to sort this whole mess. These screws make it easier to deal with crisis situations.
