Old work box that works
Would RecommendGood old work outlet to add lighting in older houses. Wouldn’t recommend putting a heavy light on them but a simple flush mount is no issue.

Ok, other brands screwed in easier.
Would Not RecommendScrews were hard to screw in when up in ceiling. After hand starting screws for several turns before putting in ceiling they worked better. I almost returned and was going with other brand but figured my work around seemed to be helping

Works OK. Need to be creative in hole cutting.
Would RecommendA good sturdy box but the reason for 4 starts is that they will not just pop in a perfect round hole. The fingers hang off to the side as well as the overall shape makes it require trimming to an already round hole.
Difficult to use.
Would Not RecommendBox is okay but the screws are so tight the screw heads strip out. I ended up removing the screws, applying some lubricant, screwed them well in then backed them off for final use. At that point they worked well.

Takes a custom fit to be tight
Sturdy and fairly easy to install. I like to have a very tight fit instead of a perfect circle with gaps. This box is a little harder to install for that application. I start with a small hole for the base of the box and as I push it into the drywall, I customize the hole to fit the tabs as tight as possible.
