Thanks for the tight editing and lack of fluff! Most tutorial videos either show too much, have too much of an intro, or have a ton of rambling. I normally hate following video tutorials because the information is presented so slowly compared to just reading it. Your video didn't make me feel thay way at all, which is rare and appreciated.
I try to always cut to the middle and then cut from the other direction back to the middle. This helps me to not cut outside the box and mess up the wall.
While this results in a clean appearance, it leaves a bigger hole in the drywall than what is needed for a coaxial cable. This introduces air leaks and paths for insects. What are other options for a clean coaxial installation that has better seals? Or do gaskets exist for these boxes?

i have noticed when i used these low voltage mounting brackets in my RV when attaching the face plate it is not flush with the wall,there is a little gap between the face plate and the wall,is this normal ??
same here, and i have same question its why i was looking at these videos lol. noone seems to address it. i dont see how to avoid it though, so i'm guessing it's just how it is.
first time I have even seen duplex work box mounted horizontally. What is the advantage of that? looks amateurish I don't know that lined electrician would do that?
Hi, try holding the ears that swing out and turn the screw with a screwdriver to loosen it up before you put it behind the wall. If that doesn't work, I would return it for a new one and tighten down the screw first, then unscrew it before you use it.

I learned many things today but the main one is me and this man use a drywall saw very different.
Do i technically need to use this for an Ethernet run?
Hi, it's not needed, but it allows you to connect a coax cover plate or a plate like this ruclips.net/video/Y4xjlOZ2GHs/видео.html

Common in Chicago.
Most people run the low voltage 6" to 1' away from high voltage (50v+) to avoid signal interfere
Perfect Vid, just what the doctor ordered.

@@FIXITHomeImprovementChannel I had the same issue. Take it out, adjust the screw and lever closer to the drywall and put it back in.
