Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
The electrical boxes are generally easy to install and provide ample space for standard depth outlets and switches. Many customers found the boxes to be sturdy, with quality locking tabs that securely hold the box in place. However, some reported issues with the durability and quality of the plastic components, such as the hinges and locking tabs being prone to breaking or seizing up, and the screws stripping easily. Overall, the product works well for basic electrical work, but customers recommend being cautious during installation due to the quality control concerns with the plastic components.

Garbage plastic
Would Not RecommendPlastic is cheap. Inside tabs break easily and the flip out tabs need the screw pre-run into it. Save yourself the headache buy the blue carbon ones at hd.
broken tabs
Would Not RecommendI've bought several of these boxes and all had the same problem. The screw to tighten the tabs was almost impossible to turn so that you didn't know when the box was secure with shaking it. I've been using them on a 3/4' T&G wall but I don't think that should make a difference. Just poor quality.
Easy to use
Would RecommendVery easy to install.

Perfect single gang cut in box
Would RecommendI loved that they made the outside edges square again and didn’t have to have a paper pattern to cut the hole to get them to fit. The tabs could be just a little bit harder so as to not be able to break so easy when securing to wall and a stop could be added to back of screw to not be able to reverse off and loose the tabs but over all love these cut in boxes

Everything else worked properly.
Would RecommendThis Gang Box did not clamp well on the bottom. It has two clamps to attach to the drywall and one did not work properly.

Old work box
Would RecommendThis is a better product than the blue boxes. These feel more rigid and work better overall in my opinion.
