Best box for drywall
For any DIYers out there that have drywall in their homes, I highly recommend that you have a few of these boxes on hand. Installing an electrical box after the drywall is already up can be challenging, but this box helps to take away some of the difficulty. You have the freedom to install this box anywhere on the wall, rather than only next to a stud. There is no need to nail anything into place and this box, when tightened, holds securely to the wall.
This box works great for retrofitting your home for wall mount televisions, installing additional light switches, adding outlets in places like the garage, and many other potential uses.

I had to cut off the back. Because it was too deep for the wall.. the back side was against the drywall on the other side of the wall… it served its purpose after the modification

Easy to install
I had to mount a Wi-Fi access point to the ceiling. Since the other side of the ceiling is an unconditioned attic, I had to use something that can be air sealed. I typically use an open back low voltage bracket for this, but you obviously can't air seal that properly. This old work box was easy to install and I can fit the cable with keystone and slack from a 6" slim patch cable. The access point mounted without issue on the box.
