The cheap plastic ones are not only fine, but are far superior to the
metal ones normally used for inside work as they rust quickly and
badly. They also form a better seal between the cabinet and gland than
the metal ones. IOW you don't have to be quite a careful in removing
burrs from holes. I purchase the commercial ones sold by the local
electrical distributor for about the same price as the ones at Lowe's
and Home Depot.
