An apparatus is disclosed for use in positioning outlet, switching and like electrical boxes about either side of a standard construction support such as a stud or joist. The device enables a worker to position such a box at a predetermined distance outwardly from the support to correspond with the thickness of covering materials intended for attachment thereto. It also provides for the positioning of such boxes at an established distance from fixed structures such as walls or floors. The device comprises two essential components. Namely, a substantially rectangular first block-shaped component and a thinner, substantially square second wafer component which mounts in sliding, adjacent relation to the block component. In operation, a longitudinal slot measuring approximately 1/16'' is formed between the first and second components of the device. This slot, which corresponds with the standard width of an electrical box sidewall, is designed to receive and firmly hold the sidewall of such boxes.
