I used this steel utility/device box for a small wiring job where I wanted a clean, secure enclosure instead of a plastic box. The metal feels sturdy, the edges are clean (no sharp burrs to fight with), and the knockout layout gives you flexibility depending on where your cable or conduit needs to enter.
What I liked
Sturdy galvanized steel: Feels rigid and holds shape during install.
Clean knockouts: They pop out cleanly with a screwdriver/pliers, without mangling the box.
Good mounting points: Easy to fasten and keep the box aligned and flush.
Professional finish: Looks and feels like what electricians actually use on site.
What could be better
If you’re working in a tight space, plan your entry points before mounting—metal boxes don’t “forgive” last-second changes the way plastic sometimes does.
Best for
General electrical rough-in work
Extending/relocating devices (with the correct cover/plate for your setup)
Junction/transition points where you want a durable, code-friendly enclosure
Pro tip
Before you tighten everything down, do a quick “dry fit” with your cable/conduit path and device/cover so your knockouts and alignment are perfect the first time.
