Snap in cover plate

[fourteen/two]

Does any one know of a blank cover plate that will snap in to a nail on box?

Just finished a job where I had 28 junction boxes to make up. The quickest method I could come up with was use standard plastic blank covers. Throw away the slot head screws. Use philip head screw with a drill. It would go even quicker it there was a cover I could just push in.

It also would be nice for when I'm under a house doing a junction, and want to get out of there quicker.

The gray boxes used to come with a metal tab that let you push the screw in as opposed to screwing them in. I think they were Legrands or Passeymour or something like that. I always hated them because the crew would not lock tight if you pushed it in.

I have no trouble with slotted plate screws, using either a speed driver or an electric one.
