Would Recommendworked well for the job and sturdy box made of good plastic
Great fit.
I’ve used this type of electrical box on my houses whenever I needed to add or replace exiting receptacles. Be aware that there are different depths of these boxes. Easy to use and makes excellent snug fitting when installed correctly. Great invention.
The prices went up so shop around
Would RecommendSome of them look like they have burn spots so I had to dig around to find the ones that didn’t
Good box
Would RecommendNo fuss old work box. The only solution for mounting without a stud. Better than the fiberglass boxes which can crack.

Works like a charm
Would RecommendWorked great! The flip out tabs grab right on the drywall and hold it in place.
Outer tabs too short, inner tabs break easily.
Would Not RecommendPoorly designed, defiantly not consumer friendly. Cost too much.
Perfect!
Would RecommendWorked out perfectly in a concrete wall where we had to run an additional 3-way switch!
Double check both tabs are there.
It's a little hard to trace it the church size hole to cut but I've you get it, it holds very tight
