Missing screws on electrical boxes, wiring and fittings

After cutting through the lid with protective foil, I found that there were no screws anywhere inside to secure the lid. So. a trip to the hardware store to complete a project. Very disappointed.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Nothing

Easy to cut and drill with Dremel

Easy to cut and drill with Dremel. It is currently used as the case for the Synthrotek PT2399 Dev Delay Kit. Considering it's plastic I'd be suspicious of using it as a floor pedal per se, but for a desktop device it's fine. Very light and well made.

Pros
  • Easy to set up
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Perfect little box for a DIY project

Used this box instead of cast aluminum. firmly and 4 screws are carefully screwed into the brass inserts cast into the case body. The perfect box for my project.

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • New Competitors

Very strong, tight-fitting lid. screws included.

Well done, strong, tight lid. screws available. Lightning struck my R5 ham radio antenna and blew out the Old Matching Network enclosure. Fix the matching network and you need a new hull. This one looks perfect. Better than the original.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Works perfectly. But a little expensive.

Ideal for 80mm CPU fan, digital transformer and 2A PWM amplifier Used to install my island mini fridge as an exhaust vent that connects to the starter of the compressor . When the starter engages the compressor, the exhaust gasses are accelerated to the RPM I need.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Lid doesn't close!

Although the product itself is made of good material, nowhere in the description does it say that the lid needs to be secured with four brass screws. He just says he's "blocked". It's not the same that I can't use it so I gave the product 3/5 stars. Please note that this box contains conductive metal (brass).

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Perfect, attractive, easy to use

Great box. None of those pesky circuit boards are routed to the interior walls, allowing panel mount components to fit neatly. ABS material is easy to work with but strong enough for projects. The size is big, it has an appeal. Maybe dimensions are the golden mean? Not sure but the size worked for my projects. Textured finish looks very nice, nicer than smooth black. I'll be back.

Pros
  • Comes with a tight fitting cover and mounting hardware
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Perfect for my build.

The box arrived on time and in good condition. Easy to cut but strong enough to be considered durable especially when the panel is reattached. Almost needed a second box, however this was done due to my lack of experience cutting holes for components but I was able to correct my mistake with satisfactory results Would recommend buy 2 if this is your first time and measure/check tools more than once and take Take your time, you will be much happier if you do.

Pros
  • External dimensions: 6-3/32" long, 4-19/32" wide, 2-23/64" high; Internal dimensions: length 5-53/64", width 4-21-64", width 2 -5/32 in. " Height
Cons
  • Expensive

Perfection - good value for money

Perfect fit for my application. I installed two 120V sockets in the back and a switch in the front. This node was installed on my Bridgeport clone mill (IRON) alongside the DRO and now controls the on/off functions for the DRO, mill lights and power supply. I now have a power cord running from the box, which eliminates two of the three power cords to the outlet I previously had. It also allows me to activate one switch for all three accessories. The box is well made; has metal inserts forโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Made from ABS
Cons
  • Without automatic
