Abstract: Disclosed is a vibration isolator for use with a turnlock fastener. The isolator includes a body portion with a generally cylindrical shape and defining a through opening along a central axis. A flange portion is connected to and extends radially outward from the bottom end portion of the body portion such that the body portion extends upward from the flange portion. In some embodiments the isolator is part of an assembly that also includes an annular body defining a central opening, such as a flat or frustoconical annulus. Components of the vibration isolator can be made of an elastomeric material having a durometer of at least 40 A. A method of installing a turnlock fastener is also disclosed.

Abstract: An elastomeric collar has a body portion with a generally cylindrical shape from a first end portion to a second end portion and defining a through opening extending along a central axis. A first annular flange is connected to and extends radially outward from the first end portion of the body portion. A second annular flange is connected to and extends radially outward from the second end portion of the body portion, where the second annular flange is axially spaced by a gap from the first annular flange. The body portion, the first annular flange, and the second annular flange are made of an elastomer having a durometer of at least 40A.

Abstract: A wall fastener locating and marking tool including a generally elongate vertical member having an upper end, a lower end; a generally elongate horizontal bar attached to the upper end of the vertical member and substantially normal to the vertical member; a handle portion, and a marking tool assembly releasably connected to the vertical member and vertically slidable along the vertical. The marking tool assembly has a marking tool tip protected by a depressible collar and includes retention means for bearing an object by its wall fastener hardware during the locating, marking, and installation of the object.
