What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the heavy-duty solid metal construction, durability, and ease of installation of these electrical boxes. Reviewers consistently highlight the sturdy, well-made design as superior to plastic alternatives, noting the steel withstands wiring, drywall installation, and physical stress in demanding environments. Most appreciate the straightforward mounting with hammer-in tabs, screws, or nails, and the integrated tabs work well with standard framing. The appropriate box depth and secure wire retention earn strong approval. A few mention minor issues like slight wobble before full securing or tight screw hole placement, though these rarely detract from overall satisfaction. Most customers consider these boxes reliable and ideal for new construction and unfinished spaces.

My brother likes the metal gang boxes because he can use his roto zip tool for installing drywall around these.
Solid Box
Would RecommendIt's steel. It holds wires. Duh... what else do you want from an electrical box. It's really silly asking anyone to review and electrical box.

Excellent boxes
Would RecommendI like these electrical boxes because they are easy to mount to a stud and strong enough to stand up to the abuse of wiring and sheet rocking a wall. This box holds a pair of light switches and has plenty of room inside for the wiring. It will look nice once the wall is finished and the cover is in place on the light switches.

Served it's purpose
Would Not Recommendbut I added an additional 2x4 in the wall to brace the box on the opposite side. Without it, the box felt too flimsy when plugging and unplugging items.
