WAF approved! for electrics

I've had problems with electric cables for years. NTM WAF is not happy either. seen and bought. Worth every penny as the pictures show. WAF rejoices.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Useless with a medium-sized extension!

This box will ONLY work with thin power cords or extension cords. Absolutely useless when trying to pull off middle overtime. The box is not closed! Sent back the same day I received it! The only reason I gave it two stars is because the print feels decent when you can close it.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Size matters for electrical boxes, wiring and fittings

Other reviews here are correct. If you are using heavier cords like those supplied with pumps, it is almost impossible to thread them into the grooves and then close the retaining clip. In addition, the connector must be very compact. I tried two before finding a third that was short enough to fit. After doing everything but stepping on the retaining clip to close it, it still wasn't fully sealed. We'll see what happens, but I'm disappointed.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something

Does not work as advertised - beware!

I am VERY dissatisfied with this product! I installed it no more than 10 minutes ago using an extension cord and snowman outlet plug. The part of the box where the wires go in and out (the top comes up, you put the wires on the pretty rubber band at the bottom, then slide the top back in with rounded cutouts for the extension cords you use). Space for a hermetic seal) does not snap! The box does not close completely and has a gap through which water can enter. I am VERY dissatisfied with this…

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Wrinkled

Durable and spacious outdoor protection box

I bought this box to protect the connector from the elements when temporarily connecting two outdoor extension cords to a shorter outdoor power cord. I turned on the WiFi switch so I can turn the two extenders on and off remotely. The box is made of thick plastic and makes a quite stable impression. There is a rubber seal around the lid to keep out the weather when closed. There are also standoffs to hug the top and bottom of the cables you have in the box (I have three - there are holes for…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Frequency

Great for Christmas decorations

I have used a different style of front yard decorative boxes and have added to them over the years. I'm paranoid about electricity mixed with water so use boxes like these as connections for all your decorations. These boxes are great. The gasket is much easier to work with than the others and seals better. Everything can be snapped into place, then close the lid. Six hands are not required. Care must be taken to ensure the locking clip is properly inserted and fully engaged, otherwise the lid…

  • New

  • New Competitors

14 gauge lines and smaller only!

I have a 1_1/2 HP pool pump. I also have another 10 gauge extension that has an oxygen generator and UV sterilizer. Wires larger than 14 gauge will not fit in this box. So the 2 10 gauge cords I have will not fit unless I remove anything weatherproofing the cord holes. I would like the seller to state this fact in the description of the box and I would save myself the headache of ordering this. I would go to the store and spend $5 on a plastic bag and poke a big hole in it to let my cords…

Pros
  • Tools and Housewares
Cons
  • Long Lead Time

Great boxes to match Electric Boxes

These are great boxes for the outdoor Christmas lights. I put an Alexa-enabled socket in the socket to control the Christmas lights. I have several of these. It's much better to deal with other Revain brands/models. These boxes have a cable/gland section that keeps the cables sealed when the lid is open. Second, it's built into the lid, and when you open the lid, all the cables come out. These boxes have a large clasp that is easy to use. Another brand used clips, one at each end. They tend to…

Pros
  • Electric Boxes
Cons
  • Crumpled

My joints have stayed dry all season.

Purchased to protect the connection of 4 inflatable Christmas decorations and a laser projector which I placed in the center of my garden. An extension cord ran from the house to the outlet and all the decorations were plugged into it. Quite spacious inside. The ribbon (along with a 3ft cord, an extension end and 5 decorative plugs (the kind with little "box" plugs on the end) works great. The box has a hinge on one of the short sides and secure cord holes are centrally located The long side…
