Handymark HM1001-BF Drywall Outlet Box Marking Tool

Product Description

The HANDYMARK HM1001-BF is a drywall marking tool designed to transfer the precise cutout location of outlet boxes directly onto drywall panels without measuring. The base component positions over a standard multigang plastic outlet box and uses stainless steel pins to mark the drywall face, giving electricians and drywall installers a fast, accurate reference point for cutting. At 5 inches by 3.5 inches, the tool covers standard box footprints and is constructed from tough ABS plastic for jobsite durability. The tool is reusable, making it practical across multiple rough-in installations on the same job.

This tool is suited for residential and light commercial electrical rough-in work where drywall is being installed over already-mounted outlet boxes. It eliminates the manual measurement step when locating box cutouts, reducing the chance of miscuts and rework. The HM1001-BF works with standard multigang plastic outlet boxes whether receptacles are oriented facing out or facing in, covering common installation configurations encountered in new construction and remodel work alike.
