Clever power back box screwthread repair clip.
These are very clever fixing clips which save a ton of difficulty work (digging a light or socket back box out) by slip on thread replacement points. The clips incorporating the new thread are very well made , are strong and effective. You do as was suggested by another reviewer need to make a small clearance (1mm) in the wall at the side of the back box to allow the clip to go fully in but I found that task very easy. I fitted the repair clips to a metal back box and found they fitted easily and effected a perfect repair. Highly recommended!

Quick and simple repair
We had several new sockets fitted and found that one of the back boxes was broken. This was a simple quick and easy repair and the socket is now back on on the wall and is secure. Great to have in a tool box just in case.

These saved my bacon!
An electrician showed me these when he was doing some work on my lighting circuit and had to remove the switches, 3 lugs had been cross threaded.Fast forward a year and a half, we've just had our kitchen tiled and guess what, 4 boxes had all been cross threaded and I needed some of these. I purchased 10 and used 4, they're easy to install and if the silver part comes away from the black clip, they are not broken, they will go back together and are still as strong.

Back Box repair Kit Expensive
A 25mm Back box costs 50p. Cheaper to replace the box but these clips are handy however £5 for 2 clips are extortionate

These clips work!
The back box I wanted to repair was quite deep in the wall, I found it almost impossible to get the clip on the side of the box. After quite some time I succeeded. The spring that holds the clip in place is very strong, so it's not going to fall off. If the box was at the surface, it would have been a lot easier. You need a gap at the side of the box to be able to clip it on and any protruding bits of metal on the side of the box need to be removed. Quite any expensive item, but unique and far quicker than having to replace the back box. I would recommend these.
