Would RecommendThese metal boxes are great. It is to bad that Lowes has chose to greatly reduce the thyme of metal boxes for sale. Why?

quality product
Would RecommendQuality Material, machined well- no sharp edges, lined up with the lid perfectly for a clean look. Knock outs were difficult to get out, but came out cleanly

no ground screw included
Would Not RecommendI bought 4 of these boxes for a couple projects at home. This box has a threaded hole for a ground screw, but NO ground screw. Unfortunately, since i don’t do this everyday, i dont have a 100 pack of ground screws on hand. Now, i’m heading back to lowes to return these and buy the plastic boxes.
We understand your frustration, however it is not a US requirement to provide a pre-installed ground screw.
Correct dimensions
Would RecommendActual box dimensions are 3.5" wide x 3.5" height x 1.5" deep
Wrong size listed on line
Would RecommendThe on-line specifications for this box list it as 3.5 inches; but, it is actually a 4 inch box. Other than that it is a quality box.
I needed a jb to hang a paddle fan which was a gift to my wife and I and was also purchased at Lowe's by our children for an anniversary gift. It worked perfectly.

octal box
Would RecommendI had picked it up to check for the cover fitting. Held in my hand carrying the other parts, paid for it and took home where where I discovered my mistake. It is perfect, shiny and looks just like the one on the joist with the transformer on it. Returned it the next day, even though is was also perfect for the job.
