Reviews
"Our outdoor outlet has a GFCI breaker which trips repeatedly during bad weather with our light display."
"Got 3 of the SOCKiTBOX Model 200 to wire up some landscape lights."
"Wonderful box for outdoor use on all of your extension cords connections."
"We have a small bird "sanctuary" outside our den that has lights on our bottle brush tree, a spot light and a fountain using 2 timers and extensions cords and adaptors."
"The boxes them self are constructed very well and the cords are easy to install through the exit hole with the included clips."
"Our problem was that we needed a way to have a large GFC plug on a short electric cord from a pool pump connect to an outside socket on our house 40 feet away on a timer. It utilizes a combination of an overhang on the lid, electric cord guides and rubberized seals to minimize any potential for water to enter the box."
"Living in the Pacific Northwest, rain and wet weather is notorious for wreaking havoc with the electrical connections of our Christmas decorations. Overall it's a great idea and kept my circuits dry and working during the holiday season but the design could be made better by making the top deeper to fit a strip and plugs and smooth so it would drain. I believe they do make a bigger box but pretty soon it looks like a trunk sitting in your front yard and even this one wasn't cheap so putting out several would not be for everybody."
"The plastic lid cracked within minutes, shattered might be a better word, right where the clamp connection is made. Sure would like a functioning weatherproof electrical box and don't feel like shipping some shattered plastic back to these bums."

Reviews
"I added a steel internal panel BUD Industries NBX-32916 Steel Internal Panel, 10-1/2" Length x 6-11/16" Width x 3/64" Thick, Natural, for NBF Series Boxes to mount my components and to provide a common grounded platform."
"I used this to hold the remote controls for a lift gate on the back of a box truck."
"Mounted on the side of my house for amateur radio grounding and cable penetration into the house."
"Finally installed it to protect a cable modem in the garage."
"My only true gripe with this enclosure is that I specifically ordered a box with a solid lid....NOT the clear lid I received."
"Used two of these to route some CAT6 and RG6 cables along the outside of my house and back in to 12 position keystone plates."
"The before is with no flooring sample and the after with flooring sample."
"Works fine for the purpose, but I wish I had just gotten an outdoor sprinkler timer instead."

Reviews
"This is a high quality low voltage media box that worked great to hide ugly old telephone punch downs and small equipment."
"Was able to fit a Channel Vision HS-16 coax splitter, cable modem and a Netgear 24 port switch inside."
"It can fit the cable modems, router, coaxial splitters, ethernet switch, and a power strip, and leave you with some room to comfortably run wires."
"This is a pain if you need frequent access to the media enclosure, not to mention the hinged cover can have a lock installed on it if you are worried about unwanted access."

Best Electrical Outlet Boxes

Etekcity Wireless Remote Control Electrical Outlet Switch for Household Appliances, Wireless Remote Light Switch, White (Learning Code, 5Rx-2Tx)
Sync remote outlets together, regardless of frequency differences; Seamlessly expand your system with any Etekcity learning remotes or outlets.
Reviews
"I solved this by marking each unit with a black marker in large numerals. With a little less attention to styling, and more to functionality, the manufacturer could have easily solved this problem."
"These remote control outlets are fantastic! Even though these things work even better than expected, I'm knocking off one point for the two cons below (neither of which is a huge deal, just a little inconvenient): Cons: - These remote control outlets are just a little too big, so if the other plug you are trying to fit in a shared wall outlet is anything other than just a simple plug, it won't fit."
"Although it is possible that I received a different or updated model, I thought I should correct, or rebut, some of the misinformation that I read in other reviews. In another case, I had a three pronged plug that I was using in the spare outlet, which had to be relocated, as it would not fit after installing the remote switch. But, very easy to just add the remote switch into a short extension chord, and the problem is solved. After the Holidays, most of these units will be relocated to my basement workshop where they will be subject to much higher loads and more demanding use. I will use one on a dust collector (about 12 amps draw), one on a vacuum, and even one on a strobe light so my wife can summon me if she needs to, without me cutting my hand off if she yells at me to come to dinner. So now my wife just hits a button upstairs and my strobe light in the basement lets me know she needs me to come up!"
"When you plug your appliance into the Etekcity outlet, in this case a lamp, into the front of the Etekcity outlet, the Etekcity body will either cover the top wall outlet when plugged into the bottom of the wall outlet. Or, if you plug the Etekcity Outlet into the top wall outlet you may find it difficult to use the bottom wall outlet if you were to want to use the bottom outlet for something like a Vacuum Cleaner or any other appliance that has a large plug."
"Additionally beyond that, the remain 4 that were functional out of the first set have been cycling daily (via RPi) for about 4 months now."

Best Electrical Brackets

Reviews
"Install trick, flip the bracket over against the wall and trace the inside."
"We ran cables through our wall for our tv."
"These are nice and easy to use old work brackets to install in to drywall for the network runs I was putting in to my house."
"So while they work, I prefer the metal brackets, which, when installed with channel locks to tighten the tabs, work exceptionally well, and do not suffer from the obstructions like the Arlington bracket."
"I've used for home theater wiring and most recently to cap off where a traditional doorbell chime had been on a hallway wall."
"This mounting bracket is a great solution for low voltage applications; that is, it's NOT for residential/commercial regular voltage applications like electrical switches or receptacles."
"Well made and unlikely to ever need replacement."
