Review on πŸ”Œ Streamline Your Setup with CableClear -DIY Kit: Transform Your Messy TV Wires with the Behind Wall Wire Kit by Paul Monzon

Great solution but room for improvement

I do maintenance and do almost everything myself unless it requires prohibitively expensive special tools. I'm at the point in my life where I can spend a little more money to save time on a project so I bought this kit. Installation took probably 30 minutes, although I didn't time it. There were 2 things I didn't like about the set. First, the hole saw bent badly during use. I'm partly responsible for this myself as I probably didn't have to use my big M18 drill bit to cut the holes. The saw grabbed and twisted my wrist hard and really bent the saw. I could bend it with my bare hands, it's very thin steel. If I could do it again I would grab my 12v drill and probably avoid this problem. It would definitely be better on my wrist. I was also able to adjust the clutch to be somewhat complicit overall, although it was still lighter than expected. The second problem I had was that my drywall was too thick. I'm going to assume my drywall is 5/8 inch, which I didn't know before starting this project. My house is new construction and I have never done drywall before. I was able to modify the knees to accommodate the thickness by trimming them with some side cutters. Overall I'm still very satisfied. In hindsight I would either get a less powerful drill from the garage or get my own hole saw from my tool box. The results are still great. The cables are hidden and it took me a minimum of effort and time.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
