A electrical housing knockout device (4) having a bracket (5) with a horizontal side (7) perpendicularly secured to a vertical side (6) and a sleeve element (8) connected to the horizontal side (7). The sleeve element (8) includes a shaft (9) and a base (10) wherein a central opening (12) extends through the shaft (9) and base (10). The sleeve element (8) also includes a collar (11)located between the shaft (9) and base (10) wherein the collar (11) has an aperture (14). The sleeve element (8) extends from the collar (11) at a predetermined angle. The collar (11) is adjacent to the horizontal side (7) and is positioned such that the collar aperture (14) is pivotal about a stopper (15) which extends from the horizontal side (7). A means for securing the bracket (5) to the interior of a junction box (1) or circuit breaker box (26) is also included.
