wait till you have to pull out a receptacle to change it
or check it and the steel jacket which you attached
(with great difficulty) to the ground screw breaks off.
and ends up too short to use so you have to pig-tail it.
you'' soon figure out that saving 10 bucks wasn't worth it.

The steel jacket gets clamped to the metal box; the receptacle gets
grounded to the metal box. I don't see a problem (as long as he
protects the circuit with a GFCI, which I said in my previous message
and you trimmed it off.)


And what do you attach to the GREEN screw on the receptacle? Nothing
connected? It's not safe. PERIOD. You can't depend on the dogears of the
receptacle grounding to the box.




A pigtail to a grounding screw on the box. Or use a self-grounding
receptacle. Really, it's not that hard...
