Get the smart box
Would RecommendThe smart bus was easier to put in, especially because it had a screw. Didn’t need to open up the drywall too large to account for any hammering.

Great for remodeling like kitchen and bathrooms!
Would RecommendGreat for remodeling Jobs like kitchen or bathroom where you would be installing tile because if you don’t have the box set correctly for the depth of the wall you can just unscrew the box and adjust it to the depth you need. The price of these boxes is not to bad compared to other that can be adjusted.

I like how sturdy these boxes are. Also, with screws, it's possible to reposition them as needed. However, it is difficult to move/adjust cables once they're in. Also, would be nicer to have a star-head screw rather than phillips.
