x5 Back Box Repair Clips Replace Damaged Threads or Lugs on Installed Electrical Metal Back Pattress Boxes

These are very clever fixing clips which save a ton of difficulty work (digging a light or socket back box out) by slip on thread replacement points. The clips incorporating the new thread are very well made , are strong and effective. You do as was suggested by another reviewer need to make a small clearance (1mm) in the wall at the side of the back box to allow the clip to go fully in but I found that task very easy. I fitted the repair clips to a metal back box and found they fitted easily and effected a perfect repair. Highly recommended!

Unreal item , saves a lot of hassle fast to use

Good product, price could be lower and there is also issues if the wall the box is set in is brittle or not tight enough to the box as it doesn’t grab as well and can come loose with the heavy handed type that like to pull plug tops up instead of out

Easy to fit, does the job well would recommend to anybody

An electrician showed me these when he was doing some work on my lighting circuit and had to remove the switches, 3 lugs had been cross threaded.Fast forward a year and a half, we've just had our kitchen tiled and guess what, 4 boxes had all been cross threaded and I needed some of these. I purchased 10 and used 4, they're easy to install and if the silver part comes away from the black clip, they are not broken, they will go back together and are still as strong.

Great bit of repair kit when metal lugs are broken. Easy to fix value for money

The back box I wanted to repair was quite deep in the wall, I found it almost impossible to get the clip on the side of the box. After quite some time I succeeded. The spring that holds the clip in place is very strong, so it's not going to fall off. If the box was at the surface, it would have been a lot easier. You need a gap at the side of the box to be able to clip it on and any protruding bits of metal on the side of the box need to be removed. Quite any expensive item, but unique and far quicker than having to replace the back box. I would recommend these.

This is a great way to save the back box. I have connected the clips on the existing back box and it worked very well. So didn't need to replace the back box. Job well done. Thanks.
