Back Box Saver Pack of ONE

Product Information

Upon talking with colleagues and other people in the industry, it was noted that this was a widespread problem that domestic and electrician face regularly. The only minor criticism is that you only get one kit and is quite expensive, however, if you had to remove your backbox from a block/plaster wall it would be a great deal more expensive. We only selected brands that matter to ‘sparks’ and ourselves, as hands on electricians, we love the concept of Back Box Repair Clip and the time, labour and cost saving solution it provides. Fitting a back box is normally done before the wall is papered but if you wanted to add an extra socket in your home and the wall has been papered then this video might help.

After removing all snags from the inside of the back box, the clip simply pushes on with ease, and due to the tensioning and calibration of the clip, it will remain firmly and securely in place.This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. Saved me the mess and trouble of entirely replacing a switch's back box in our newly decorated kitchen - I'd over-tightened one screw like an idiot (on a switch with a crowded box - a 2-way dimmer). If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. I've been] replacing sockets and switches around the house for aesthetic purposes and really didn't want to have to start replacing the back boxes. The current solution — replacing the back box just because of a stripped lug — is time-consuming and costly, especially if the wall is re-decorated.

Don't forget - you might need to strip the existing thread (in the backbox) before you use this, otherwise it probably won't work. Remove as much of the swarf from behind the enlarged hole as possible - otherwise the new nut will not sit square and will be harder (or impossible) to thread.Credit subject to status, UK residents only, Toolstation Ltd, acts as a broker and offers finance from a restricted range of finance providers, PayPal Credit is a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH.
