Easy to assemble - socket boxes

Used this box to replace a work box on our island that had broken off the tabs that wouldn't stick to the wall. It was easy to replace and insert and fit like a glove. Really glad how easy it was for a regular guy like me.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not as thick as other lock picks

Worked best in electrical boxes, conduit and fittings

I bought 4 and used them to power another outlet higher on the TV wall in two rooms. Worked great. Fast and easy. Minor repairs were needed around the existing outlet, but only because the sawmill was difficult to control.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Disappear

Accomplishes the task you need to do

Do you have to deliver the box afterwards? Need one that's built to spec and fits the hole you want it to fit? Those were my requirements, and these devices fully met them. Clean installation without cumbersome measuring. They were strong and did not bend under tension. I will continue to use them for related applications.

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • Difficult to say

Ideal item for installing new sockets

Purchased to install RCD sockets in the garage. I was very happy with the quality of the material used (the plastic is quite hard). The installation went smoothly. Was disappointed to find the same item at my local Home Depot for $1.84, but that's no big deal. I am a level 2 certified electrician and cannot recommend this setup to everyone. Potential electrical damage is no joke.

Pros
  • Hands Free Operation
Cons
  • Protection

Outlets missing

You can usually get them at any big hardware store, but these days they're scarce in my area like chicken teeth. I have used this product many times and it does the job. While it's obvious how to use it, I can suggest for those new to it that you work with the screws retracting the clamps to loosen them before installation. And if you need to loosen the clamps after installation, if you unscrew the screws too far, the clamps will fall behind the wall.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • A few bits and pieces

You can buy them at Home Depot for $1.22 each. Good product, not a good buy!

I used these to replace two original kits that had to be ripped out. They worked great, but it was necessary to raise the "ears" a bit, as shown in the photo. If they weren't the same as in the picture; I would return them. I bought them from Revain because it was so much easier than going to Home Depot, despite the savings I had by shopping there. I am disabled and didn't want to ask anyone to shop for me during the pandemic.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Negative

$$$ but better than stopping your project

others sell for a third of the price. But if you're like me and after four days of searching can't find any of these crates within a 50 mile radius due to the major building materials shortage in 2021, come here and buy them at a reduced price. Exorbitant markup because literally the only other option is not to complete your project and that's just unacceptable because guess what, there's a schedule and deadlines and none of them are going to wait because the stream isn't ready! This chart…

Pros
  • Carlon B114R-UPC Lamson Home Products Number-1G Old Working Box Pack of 3
Cons
  • Available in white color only

Expensive necessity for some projects

They are more expensive than Home Depot. They are flat too. Not super superficial, but can make installing smart switches tedious. Especially with thicker wire like 10 gauge. It's probably easy for professionals, but harder for handymen like me. The ones in home storage are deeper and cheaper lol but good luck finding them in storage. This is the ideal depth for outlets, coax, ethernet, telephone, light switches. But small for smart switches. Not impossible, just harder to push all the wires…

Pros
  • Rectangular hole 3-3/4" x 2-3/8" hole required
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
