Would RecommendWorks good on drywall and even subway tiles. Be sure to move the retaining tab all the way out to the tip of the screw (but not too far or it will drop off).

As expected
Would RecommendDid what it was supposed to do, works well is it to install if you know what you’re doing?
Verified Purchaser
Too much to remove.
Would Not RecommendThis particular box has a section on top and bottom that conflicts with the cut out for installing. It is the threaded parts for installing switch, outlet etc. Too much drywall removed leaves little for the tabs to grab??

Easy to install.
Would RecommendProduced worked fine. I've used theses several times and never disappointed. Used this one to fill a hole in the wall where we had previously had a phone outlet. Wife is now happy. "Happy wife, Happy life!!!"

Good buy
Would RecommendI like these better than the other gray work boxes. These fit cleaner against the drywall that the ones that screw into a stud, especially since I'm replacing boxes after drywall has been installed. I wish it was easier to punch in the spot for the electric lines. I have old wiring, 12-gage wire from the 60s, so it can be difficult to feed it into the box.
