Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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."
Made of ABS with two piece lap construction to protect against dust and splashing water. Enter your model number to make sure this fits.

"The perfect for time machine powerhouse for my DeLorean DMC-12."
"The perfect size for my needs."
"This is a great little box."
"Although the size of this box isn't really what I wanted for my project, it should work for me temporarily. In retrospect, and with absolutely NO reservations about this product, I MAY opt to do a little more research for a more size-appropriate box."
"I used this box to enclose an ITC-1000 temperature controller."
"Great box, very sturdy."
"Gets 3 stars because, like all the boards I could find, it is a weird size, either much too large or just slightly too small for all the breadboards I tried it against."
Also used for handy boxes and 4-inch square electrical boxes with plaster rings for single switches or receptacles. Use Arlington's UL and CSA listed, non-conductive Box Extenders, BE1-5, to extend set back electrical boxes up to 1-1/2-Inch.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Nice easy solution for a common problem when electrical boxes have been installed below tile or wood paneling (and in some cases wall board) and are therefore not flush with the surface. Thanks to other reviewers to two useful suggestions: (1) use tin snips to cut away some of the extra plastic depth if you only need 1/2-3/4" instead of the 1.5" it provides, leaving more room in the box; and (2), If the switches/outlets are already installed and don't have a lot of wire play you can cut one of the side edges (or perhaps even both) to enable installation without having to remove the wires from the existing outlet."
"I bought the Carlon brand extensions originally, but found they didn't fit the metal junction boxes I needed to extend."
"This extender slips into the existing electrical box and the tabs on the outer rim keep it pressed up against the drywall when the outlets or switches are screwed in. 4 screws were included that are used to attach the switch/outlet to the electrical box and at the same time they hold the extender in place."
"Having tiled a backsplash before without this product, I fully appreciate how great they are."
"These are plastic, fit well, and have nice tabs on them for the screws."
"This allowed me to cut a hole in the side of the shelf and butt it up against the wall perfectly and reinstall the switches inside the shelf."
"Otherwise the plate screw hits the extension box and protrudes the plate, not allowing it to mount properly against the wall."
"I purchased both the two gang and the single gang outlet box extenders from Arlington."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"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."
"With the holiday season over, I'm going to repurpose it to protect my bbq temp controller and pellet grill electronics. I have water resistant plastic ammo boxes that cost half as much with extremely effective latches that are substantial and easy to use."

"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."
"I ordered two of these and some faceplates to hide some home theater wiring in the walls."

"First package had only three of the fourt pieces."
"Closed End cap should also be operable and hinged (how are you supposed to hold a nut on the inside of a 10' pipe to secure the end cap?"
"The other one came with a U-bolt that is about 2 inches shorter than the other, making it nearly useless for mounting on a ladder rack."
