Super cheap plastic ripped in minutes no customer service

Love this idea. The size is great and the design isn't bad either. Two problems: 1. The plastic cover tore, or rather split, within a few minutes, exactly where the clamped connection is made.

I got an email asking what I thought of your product. I was like great let me chat with you to see if I have a bad block and they do right. So…

Pros

Cons

Pros
  • Electrical Boxes, Wiring & Fittings
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

I bought several of these boxes for our Christmas light show.

Pros
  • Electric
