Thank you for your product review and we are glad to read that you found the product easy to use.
pre-drilled and broke the head off bolt 3
Would Not RecommendMuch like one of hte other reviews - i broke the head off one of the lag screws. I pre-drilled the hole but clearly it was not wide enough diameter. Disapointed that this just flew straight off. Now i need to see what my options are - drill a new hole, try and extract this one. argh.. please include a recommended drill diameter for predrilled holes - would have solved my issue.
We are disappointed that this product did not meet your expectations. The recommended pilot hole is 5/32".
Perfect fit, good price.
Used to install a ceiling fan into an existing light box. The original was too big for the flush mount fan but this box was perfect

Didn't Work as Well As Expected
Based on all the other reviews here I expected this box to work well. I got it to work but it was a much bigger hassle than expected. I was doing an old work installation of a fan where a light fixture used to be. My main issue is they give you about a 5-10 degree screw angle into the bracket on the joist/stud to work with... I have a very small cordless drill but I still had a difficult time getting the screws in good & straight. Do they understand that I can't fit my whole drill into the dryw...
The angle is intended to allow for the drill to be below the drywall and most drivers would use an extended bit holder, instead of a short bit direct... Read More
As expected.
Would RecommendDoesn't feel cheap. Does what it needs to do. Everything is in the box.

Angled mounting holes are a plus
Would RecommendI like how the box accounts for the mounting screws being screwed at an angle with mounting holes at an angle to match. I used other boxes where this was not the case and the screws were not secured flush with the box.

Heavy Duty box
Great product. Very strong ceiling box replacement; much better than the ones that rely on the drywall for support.

Best fan box out there
Would RecommendPro electrician here. I buy 99.9% of my materials from an electrical supply house. I still go to Lowe's for these. Superior product compared to everything else I've tried. Pricey but worth it. My 275 pound self can hang from it and it won't even bend.
