ABSTRACT:
A tool for holding and positioning an electrical junction box includes a pair of handles pivotally connected in a lever arrangement so that squeezing together the grip portions of the handles urges apart the jaw portions of the handles. A spring biases the jaw portions together. A first jaw portion has a flat surface for contacting an outside of a wall electrical junction box. A second jaw portion has two spaced apart fingers for contacting an inside surface of the wall of the junction box so that the jaw portions grip the wall in a three-point connection. The first jaw portion has a sliding adjustable plate for contacting the face of a wall stud or ceiling joist to set the distance from that face that the front edge of the wall of the junction box will be positioned.
