Nail Guards
(wire protector plates)
for wood or metal studs
pack of 20

There is no worse feeling than discovering that a phone jack is dead or that your new expensive speaker wire has a short circuit... and the problem is "somewhere" inside a wall.

Lots of these problems are caused by nails or screws that were used to attach walls to studs, that penetrated the wires that pass through holes in the studs.

Professional electricians know that the National Electric Code requires protective plates to be installed near the holes that wires pass through; but if you're an amateur wire-runner, you might not have known this.

Now you know, so you have no excuse.

Protect your precious phone, data, audio, video and alarm wiring, and the tubing that feeds water to your icemaker. If you think wire is safe inside PVC conduit, you're wrong -- a drywall screw can easily drill right into it.

The PhoneGeeks Nail Guards work on both wood and metal studs, and can be installed in seconds without tools (but you can screw or nail them on if you want). Breakable tabs permit multiple plates to be connected for use with double studs.

Made of 16 gauge steel to meet section 300-4(b)(2) of the National Electric Code. Has zinc phosphate coating to resist corrosion.
