Where did the decent electrical boxes go?
Hey you wacky electrician guys.
Why is it that I can't seem to find any 'real' boxes anymore? When I was doing residential, we used boxes made by, I believe, a company called 'raco'. They were sort of grey/tan in color, and seemed to be made out of fiberglass (or at least thats what it looked like when I would smash one after having mounted it crooked). I still see them used in new construction, but can't find them myself. All I see at the super mega lo mart these days are the crappy blue plastic *******s that for some reason I just hate the **** out of. Where did they go? Thanks Matt |

You will find them at a supply house. You won't find them at big box stores because the average shopper there is to cheap to pay for quality goods. Colbyt |
