I had a customer (via the contractor) ask why we didn't use metal boxes in their bathroom remodel. My immediately responded, "why would we have used them?". I know that he might say that the box would be grounded therefore trip the breaker if something "hot" gets against it.....Other than that the benifit is lost on me. Metal boxes, especially with romex, are a PITA: more sharp edges, more time to make up, clamps in box etc. The contractor wanted me to talk directly to the H.O. about it so I thought I would see what possible reasons you guys come up with to use and not to use them.
