Eagle:

It's been brought up here before. OSHA hates them when they're used for movable extension cords because of the hazards of the dangers of missing knockouts leading to potentially exposed current carrying parts and also the face of the receptacle can be cracked off (receptacles are not really designed for that sort of banging around). It's a case of what use is the box listed for, I guess?

Trumpy:

Here is a picture of a "Double Gang" box:
