ABSTRACT:
Means and method for mounting utility boxes, panels, or like housings, as between studding in the framework of a building. A self-supporting tool is provided that can be interposed manually between a pair of flanking wooden studs or equivalent vertical structural members at desired height and depth of insertion. The tool, when manually released, engages the studs forcibly enough, as by indenting their sides, to be held in place while a utility box or panel is placed on the tool by the user of the tool, who then secures the box or panel in place by inserting fastening means, such as nails or screws, through its side and into the sides of the studs. The tool gauges the depth of insertion of the box or panel between the studs, by contact with the front surfaces of the studs and the rear surface of the box or panel.
