yoozy boxes

Hi, any one used these before? Yoozybox - Plasterguards

excellent piece of kit for whenever you need to 2nd fix before the slop merchants have done.

Then go back and chop your 50 mm appliance bolts down to 3rd fix your 25mm boxes.

better than taking all day to find the filled in boxes.

They annoy me because site managers annoy me. Can't help wishing I'd thought them up though, like those little arrows on HGV wheels, one good idea like that and the rest of your natch living off the royalties.

Use them all the time excellent idea. I'd rather just have to take off the yozzy when the kitchen is fitted rather than second fixing leaning over work tops and under wall units. So much faster with the yozzy box

I had never heard of them until recently, how long have they been about?

onions1066 · Oct 26, 2013

Well we've been using them about 3 years I think. So I'd guess a Bit longer than that

It's not a new idea. My old man made his own set up about 35 years ago (so he tells me) out of wood, maybe he missed a trick by not patenting them!

To be fair, his just blocked off the back box until he was ready to fit the accessory. Oh God, he's rambling on about how much better quality socket outlets were in his day now...........

Sorry to bump up an old thread but planning on using these next week. My only concern is do the break off the plaster when removed ?
Thanks

might need a quick touch with a stanley round them. what little bit of plaster comes away is covered by the faceplate.

why do i have the feeling they will either be gone or smashed off by your return on some sites

They are awesome. Best way to remove them is split them down the top or bottom so you can fold it in on itself, i just put a piece of gaffer over the inside then reuse next time. You can just split the gaffer with your stanley. They are really good.

Just squeeze them in the middle and they cover loose. The plaster doesn't really stick to them. They are smooth plastic it has nothing to adhere to
