Ratings & Reviews for Hubbell RACO 1 -Gang Galvanized steel New work/Old work Handy Electrical Box
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
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.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.worth the price
Solid construction, secure attachment between box and bracket. The welded construction (as opposed to the punch extruded boxes) leave nice square corners, making the installation of GFCI, soft-touch switches, occupancy switches and other larger appliances quick and easy. They are a bit pricey compared to the alternatives, but the extra room-- especially in the corners-- is completely worth it if you need to install something a bit bulkier than a typical switch or duplex outlet.
