Amazing Swing Leaf

Works exactly as described. Great auxiliary leaf that swings around the outlets. They fold up conveniently for storage. Worth the price!

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Works great - electrical boxes, wiring and fittings

I'm amazed at how well this works. Very simple and effective. I bought a few other items with a magnet to help make the correct hole, it wasn't as good as this simple marker.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Appearance

Didn't work for us for the electrics

We couldn't seem to get them to work. Perhaps the boxes the electricians used are slightly different than those others have used, but they don't seem to do the job. It was easier to measure than worry about the device not breaking through the drywall properly.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Expensive

great product in the electrical system

Works as it should. Some reviews say it doesn't work with cables, which isn't true. You slide the wires all the way to the back of the box and it fits perfectly. I recommend to anyone who wants to make their drywall life a little easier with sockets.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Safety

They are "good "

They worked well. Not amazing. They didn't seem to pierce the drywall. Instead I had to look for a small dent in the drywall. If I had pressed hard on the drywall I could have pierced it a bit. So they work a little. It is as you would expect.

Pros
  • Pleasing
Cons
  • Obsolete

Good for marking sockets

This is a very simple and problematic situation. Simply place this device in the electrical box with the tip facing out. Line up the drywall and press down. The tip marks the back of your drywall. Simply mark the socket for the spike in the center and cut to your size. This little device saves time and effort. I recommend it for Carpenter's "Saturday Afternoon Honey".

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

didn't work at all for my app

didn't work for me. Of course, I put all the wires in boxes and coiled them up as usual. The problem is that some of the boxes aren't deep enough for this product to fit all the way in, so it sticks out too far. Another issue is that I'm not a professional drywall installer and tend to install drywall in place. This is almost impossible with this product. I'm sure it works well for professionals or those with helpers. Just not for me. I know I rated the features individually fairly highlyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 1 year trial version
Cons
  • Only available in white
