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.

Just go with plastic for DIY
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
