What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this metal electrical box for its thick, rigid construction and exceptional durability in retrofit and old-work applications. Reviewers consistently highlight its sturdy build quality, noting it withstands demanding installations without bending. The shallow depth is ideal for tight spaces like kitchen islands and under-counter areas where plastic boxes won't fit. Many appreciate the side knockouts and mounting tabs that simplify installation and secure attachment. The box accommodates various applications from standard outlets to low-voltage wiring and works with MC cable. A few note knockouts require technique to open and space is limited for certain larger devices, but most consider these minor edge cases. Overall, customers find it reliable and well-suited for challenging retrofit scenarios.
