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.

Wish it mounted differently
Would Not RecommendThe mount strip stops box from being flush to stud. Normally the gang box mounts to the stud, so cut the hole based on that. Then realized the mounting strap pushes the box to out from the stud so had to widen the box hole. Bought an oversized outlet cover to hide the extra hole cut space. Needed metal box since the box is against an attic wall.
