What is the purpose of a handy box?

A handy box, often referred to as a junction box or electrical box, serves as a protective enclosure for electrical connections and wiring. It provides a safe space to house wiring splices and connections, preventing accidental contact and reducing the risk of electrical hazards. Handy boxes also facilitate the organization of circuits and make it easier to access wiring for maintenance or upgrades. Additionally, they help ensure compliance with electrical codes and standards for safety.
