I'm digging that outlet. If I need to do any outlet replacement they will be my go-to outlets.

[jeannemyers]

That's an awesome tip young man! Thank you so much! 😊

[dgibsonusa]

Everything about this fix is excellently explained and demonstrated. But this would be a little trickier with insulation commonly found in hollow walls.

[dukhwanee]

yo im about to wire my home w cat6 and im using this strat. good stuff bro.

[nothanks]

Bro, what a life saver. I have to subscribe.

[HomeRapidRepair]

Good demonstration video and explanation

[williamtucker]

Any thoughts on metal studs? Am thinking of drilling holes with a hole saw behind the baseboard area and installing the plastic protectors normally used in metal studs for protecting Romex.

[timfanning]

Nice tip mate . Not so easy if the wall is rammed full of class fibre insulation or rockwool ( sound proofing & heat insulation ), a requirement in the uk .

[Handymandavid]

Hi, thank you for your great video. Would you please send the link for your flexible drill extension?

[araz]

Thanks so much for making this intuitive video... thought me a lot... 🙂

[haggen]

Could you run in a piece of metal conduit.
Does the wire in the stud need a meta protection plate ?
Great video wirh your display

[fgfgdfgfgf]

Is there any issue if I skip putting back the bottom drywall at all? The wires won't be exposed and bottom drywall is not visible at all anyway right? What are your thoughts?

[jacquelynharper]

My walls are old plaster walls but are in really good condition. I am trying to rid of some of the old outlets and install new ones. How could I do this with old plaster walls if it's possible. Since the house is older some of the other outlets can be gone. I am tired of extention cords and electric power strips especially during the holidays. Any advice would help. Thank you

[ZERo]

Thanks for this. Idea, , question is it necessary to use pigtails at the first outlet? Or is fine to connect straight to outlet powering second outlet. Thanks man

[brianperrigo]

Thanks for all the content it has helped me so much in my house that I just purchased

[michelbedard]

How the electrical box is fixed to the drywall, because there seems to be no stud behind for the screws ?

[leerood]

Nice idea. The only comment I've got is this. It's always best to hit studs with nails to hold the base back snug.
If the person doing this keeps track of the wire locations, it may be okay. Having said that, if someone else pulls the base and doesn't know there is a wire in that location, it may be a problem. Some of the newer air nailers can blow through p plates or kick and curl the nails. Nice video though! 😊

[leepiper]

Love how you explain everything!! T.Y.👍

[SophiaAphrodite]

Great idea unless it is an insulated exterior wall.
