Review: Fixes Stripped Outlet Holes in No Time - This is perfect and does the job every time very easily. These are a must have for older homes with stripped outlet screw holes! I dreaded replacing the outlet box because the screws would come out but this product fixed them in just a few seconds. Pop it on and screw the outlet in!
Review: Life saver - I have a townhouse that I rent out and one of the plugs there had way too much play or movement in it. The outer plug cover had broken due to the excessive play. When I got there to see what needed to be done to fix it, I noticed the bottom screw that normally holds the bottom of the plug snug to the wall/elec box was broken off and only the screw part of the screw was still in the box and the head of the screw was gone. Thinking I might have to remove the box (and part of the wall to get to it) I first looked online to see what cool new innovative things might help me. I have never heard of these clips till then. Reading the reviews I noticed a couple of people that stated the screw threads tend to strip out when using these. I quickly realized the issue, the people used them wrong. The screw threads that people complain are stripping out is caused because when the screw is "screwed" in, it hits the box or whatever and no longer goes "in". The screw and the repair clip is doing its job however, with no room for the screw to go in farther, it causes the threads on the screw to strip! When I put mine in, I first used a 1/8" drill bit and drilled a hole for the screw to go into if needed. If your box is broken where the screw would normally go and is broken off/missing, you won't obviously need to drill out an area for the length of the screw to go into. After I drilled an access way for the screw, I put the repair clip on and attached the receptacle. It screwed down very tightly and was just like new, no movement! Just remember to try to center the plug and have it as plumb as possible. I normally use the "unbreakable" or nylon covers on all my plug and switch covers and since they are also a little bigger than the old fashion hard breakable ones, if your plug is positioned a little off center it will still cover any gaps left. These clips were amazing and worked perfectly! You will need to use them correctly and allow room for the screw to go in without bottoming out and they will work perfectly for you too! These repair clips saved me lots of time and money. I didn't have to tear apart the wall to remove the old box and then do a sheetrock repair taking hours to days to complete, I just took a couple minutes to install and then put everything back together. It looks like nothing ever happened except now the plug is super secure without any wiggle! I would highly recommend these clips for a repair to a broken box.

A simple, effective solution. Installation was easy. Just to be on the safe side, I also bedded the clip in some JB Weld. The outlet is quite secure.
