Would Not RecommendThese boxes are not usable as supplied. The holes for the adjusting tab screws are too small for the screws. I was not able to tighten the screws either manually or with a power driver. I tried to drive the screws in and out repeatedly but only succeeded in mangling the screw head.

Not really for old work
Would Not RecommendI'll undoubtedly have to replace this box, because there are no clamps on the box.

The best thing I can say is that it has a high-voltage low-voltage divider, but if the box won't stay in the wall, what's the use?

great box, larger volume would be even nicer
nice box, sets well thanks to oversize face tabs. I wish they would make them in larger (volume) size. Make sure that you screw and unscrew the mounting tabs a few times before install.
