These boxes took a lot of effort to drive in the mounting and device screws.
Nice box!
Would RecommendI got to be honest I really don't know much about , but I asked my electrician about this and he said it worked out perfect.
Great for remodels
Would RecommendPerfect for remodel work. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is because I don't like the way the Romex goes into the box. It was too hard to get into the box. The "clamping" is too tight
Good item
Would RecommendGood standard product needed in construction. Boxes are fairly sturdy.

Good Size Box But Failed Installation
Would Not RecommendThe electrical box had good capacity but failed during installation. One of the two mount screws pulled out of its holder when I tightened it. I had to find an alternative way to secure the box to the wall.

Be Careful not to loose the screw backers.
Would RecommendWorked as it should. Easily installed in a wall that was already drywalled.
