5 Electrical Tools Every Homeowner Should Own

What happens here

After wiring the outlet, push it gently into the electrical box. The outlet itself has screws that align with the top and bottom of the electrical box. Use a Milwaukee Fuel impact driver with a Phillips bit to secure these screws, fastening the outlet firmly in the box and flush with the wall. The outlet is now physically installed and ready for testing.

Goal: Mount the wired outlet flush with the wall
