ABSTRACT:
An electrician's tool is disclosed which comprises a combination template and spirit level. A pair of locating pins stored in the housing carrying at least one spirit level are removable and relocatable in a pair of pin-receiving openings which are spaced from one another and from a side edge of the template the distance required to mate with and be detachably received within the grounded prong-receiving openings of a conventional dual receptacle. When so positioned, a lip on the righthand edge of the template defines a stop-forming abutment for locating a second dual socket or a toggle switch in the precise ganged relation necessary to accept an appropriately apertured trimplate. A horizontally-disposed spirit level is used to align the receptacles to toggle switches or both vertically. A second vertically-disposed spirit level may be included for aligning horizontal installations.
