Many appreciate integrated features like cable clamps, wire hold-downs, and threaded ground screw holes that simplify installation.

Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Very good quality. Wish Lowes has a better select
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?

Good ceiling electrical box
Would RecommendSolid, metal, electrical box for ceiling fixtures. Plenty of depth for long wires and nuts.
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.
We appreciate your positive feedback!
