Electrical Back box rethread fix with simple tool

Fixing a Cross-Threaded Back Box with the CK Threading Tool | Easy Electrical Repair

In this video , I’ll show you how I fixed a cross-threaded electrical back box using the CK Tools threading tool and a must-have bit of kit for any electrician or DIY enthusiast. This job was supposed to be a quick face plate change and the last job of the day but the screws were cross threaded and it turned into a bit of a nightmare! I had to shoot out to the shop to buy some longer terminal screws as well! luckily I ordered another rethread tool a couple of weeks before because I lost my previous one.

A stripped or damaged thread in a metal or plastic back box can be a real pain, but this simple solution can save time, money, and hassle. Watch step-by-step as I repair an example of a poor back box thread, no need to replace the entire box!
