G-Clip 10-Pack - Fix Loose Outlets and Switches Electrical Wall Box Repair Clips

I went to 3 hardware stores, Lowe’s, Menards, Home Depot none of them have anything like this so I was extremely reluctant but the alternative was to cut drywall and replace the gang box which all 3 stores told me to do…. So I gave it this product a shot because I had 10 broken gang boxes. All I can say is Miracle Product, IT WORKS and super easy and quick to install. You’ll want a flat heat screwdriver on hand. Good luck folks.

I had new kitchen cabinets installed. A hole was cut in the cabinet for the outlet under the sink and the cabinet was then set against the wall. Well, this left the oulet deeply recessed behind the cabinet cutout and I needed a way to bring it forward before new sink was installed, which would have made it more difficult to get to due to pipes. In the process of trying to fix it, I stripped the bottom J-box screw hole. Oh boy...what do I do, now. Can't pull the cabinet out. It now has a quartz counter on top of it. I was searching for a fix and found g-clip. It worked perfectly to tighten the outlet. Now, I'll tell you how I brought the outlet from the wall to make it flush with the cabinet. I had to pull the oulet forward, insert a metal C adapter around the outlet hole at the jbox, insert the screw into the outlet hole and then insert a rubber spacer, which went onto the screw. Screw was then fed threw the screw hole on the adapter and into the g-clip. Perfect, perfect, perfect. What I thought was going to be an impossible task with cost for electrician was turned into a DIY project for only pennies. Outlet is nice and tight. Took me maybe 15 minutes to get it all done.

This clip is awesome - it saved hundreds in an electrician coming out to put in a new junction box and my loose outlets are now tight against the wall. Super happy with how it turned out and ease of install.

My dad lives in a stereotypical 80s suburban house that was thrown together with absolutely zero concern for anything besides maximizing profit. Everything is cheap, and all the work is beyond shoddy.These cute little clips let me fix old brittle outlet boxes without turning it into some huge saga involving cutting out and repatching drywall, which is good, because I detest drywall.Depending on how the box lines up with the drywall they can be a little fiddly to get in and lined up. Some pop right in, some require a combination of needle noise pliers, a flat blade screw driver, and choice language.That said, average time to rip an outlet out, put a couple clips in, and put a new decorator style outlet and cover on is less than 10 minutes, even one of the clips decides to fight.Not bad, especially considering the alternatives.

Easy to install and worked perfectly.

My bathroom sconce broke the screw hole on the electrical box behind a tile wall. There was no way to get to the electrical box to replace it and these clips saved me! Highly recommend

It was a bit tricky to get the screw started but it did what I wanted.

This was an easy and inexpensive solution to repair broken electrical boxes. The only downside is that it causes height changes if used where multiple electrical boxes share one plate cover. I used it where two electrical boxes shared one plate cover and it was difficult to get the switches to line up evenly. It worked beautifully where one electrical box had it's own plate cover. These clips really spared me a great expense as I have multiple broken electrical boxes throughout my home.
