These things are a pain to install, however that isn't it's fault, so it worked ok, but just go with the plastic of yours doing a diy project

metal wall outlet box
Would RecommendRoom enough for 10 guage wires and dryer outlet. Also stronger than plastic.

Pricey, but descent
Would RecommendI installed these in a garage for single plugs because I wanted more room in the boxes . Agree with a previous comment about the nail/screw holes being a bit too tight to the box. The only other issue I had was I using snap in NM 1/2' cable fittings. I got one in halfway and ended up was pressing down pretty hard on the box without supporting it and snapped a spot weld.
Good enough but would like less 'wobble'
I would prefer the strap be a bit stronger such that the box would be less apt to wiggle. Other than that it does what it's intended to do; good enough.
