Q:Anyone have issues with the 2 little metal brackets failing? I just got this and they don't seem like they'll be very sturdy...especially when pulling plugs out of a GFCI outlet.

Answer This Question
A: Hi RinOak, the steel brackets when used with the self-tapping screws mounted on the back of the box have a greater load rating of pulling plugs out of the device. The aluminum box threading, if not completely threaded, would most likely be the issue over the steel plates. The over issue could be what you are mounting the box with the plates too.
