<p>A low profile standoff with tool stop is disclosed for attaching surfaces in fixed proximity to each other. The low profile standoff with tool stop includes a main body having a threaded bore, a threaded stem for threading a nut, and an intermediate section of narrower cross section than the main body that admits a portion of the threaded bore. The intermediate section extends within the thickness of the mounting surface while the main body stays on one side and the threaded stem extends wholly through to the opposite side of the surface. Some embodiments further comprise a tool stop on the exterior of the main body. Other embodiments dispense with the threaded stem. The low profile standoff with tool stop is particularly useful for overcoming the strength disadvantages of reduced height standoffs known in the art, and of minimizing tool head damage to the mounting surface.</p> |
