Room for improvement
Would RecommendWish these had metal wing tabs instead of platstic, which should be standard,. otherwise they will snap if over tighten, or if the outlet/box is stressed during wiring/installation.

Electric box extension after installing new backsp
Would RecommendI bought these plastic electricle boxes to cut them off to use the front section as extension for the existing ones to secure the electrical outlet and the front finish plate to the new marble backsplash splash after installing the new back splash works well, just be sure the backsplash installers make the hole big enough to accommodate the extension of the electrical box.
