ABSTRACT:
A shim is easily insertable between an electrical device and the box in which the device is to be mounted. The shim has a hole in the center to receive the device mounting screw, and a channel to allow the shim to be slipped over the screw without removing the screw. The channel includes a constriction so that shim will snap over the screw and not be easily removed. A handle extends from the shim for easy manipulation, the handle including knurls for a better grip.
