Good product.

Used for installing a receptacle on the side of my kitchen island and it worked great.

Simple and solid

Needed a low profile box for a tight space and this worked perfectly.

Worked great

Perfect for adding one plug in cabinet and running new wires.

Worked great

Couldn’t find plastic old work box so used this metal one.

Worked great for low voltage floor application

I used this box to put a ethernet jack in the floor of my office. The depth of my floor was deeper than what the low-voltage old work boxes support. I liked this metal box because it wasn’t too deep and I was able to use the ears to drive wood screws into the floor underneath the carpet.

Metal outlet box

You got to love the old timie boxes, they match the existing boxes in our old house.

Works well for old work

It works perfect for an old work retro box as not sure why I'd ever use it for new work. Enough depth for dimmers, etc

quality electrical box

box with sturdy, and installed easy with ears to hold the box

Great for retro-fit (Old Work)

Well made and great concept. We always called these “old work” boxes as they are designed to be cut into an existing walls (note the tabs on top and bottom). Great way to modify existing structures. These will need a set of holding straps if used as a retrofit.

Good single gang box, but limited space.

Thick metal, rigid, sturdy construction, good strain relief. I wouldn’t use this for a GFI outlet due to the lack of space, but it’s fine for a single regular outlet, a switch or Ethernet ports.

Looks nice with metal cover.

Fit perfectly where I needed to put this box. Very easy to use.

Watch for Clearance When Adding Wire Clamp

I would prefer to have the wire clamp built in to the interior of the box, as once I add my own, it is now bordering on too large for the opening I have. Regardless, I was able to make it work, and I understood the design when I purchased it.
