Electrical Box Repair Clip / Switch Box Support Bracket

This device is a repair tool used to secure a loose or damaged electrical wall box (junction box or switch box). It provides a solution when the original internal screw lugs (threaded holes) in the box are stripped, broken, or missing, which prevents an outlet, switch, or cover plate from being securely mounted to the wall.

The clip is typically made of high-hardness alloy steel for durability. It works by inserting the two halves into the sides of the existing electrical box and tightening screws that cause the clips to expand or grip the inside of the box structure. This creates a new, firm fixing point for the mounting screws of the electrical device or faceplate, effectively preventing loosening and ensuring safety.

It is considered an easy and cost-effective fix that saves time compared to the complex process of cutting out and replacing the entire broken electrical box and repairing the surrounding wall.
