Good for those old shallow walls!
Would RecommendGreat for old shallow walls, especially for replacing older metal ones. The tab placement makes it hard to work, but worth it for the narrow depth. Always have a handful in my kit.

Perfect for tight spots where you need a switch
Would RecommendThis box is perfect for those tight spaces where you need a switch or receptacle. I used this to add a receptacle on sheet rock screwed to 1x2 wood on concrete block foundation and it was perfect fit.

Worked Great
Would RecommendInstalled in spot with very little space. Worked great. The cover sticks out more then I’d like but works. It could have larger holes to put the wiring through.
