Abstract: An elongate form tie extender aids insertion of form ties in form panel structures for thinner concrete walls. The extender passes through form tie holes and has fastening structure at one end to interconnect a form tie. For use a first form panel is established in forming position and form ties are fastened therein extending toward a second panel established in a temporary position spaced to allow a workman to move between the panels. Form tie extenders are interconnected on form ties in the first panel with one end in paired cooperating form tie holes in the second panel. The second panel is moved to forming position adjacent the first panel with form ties extending between the panels. The form tie extenders are removed and the form ties fastened on the second panel.

Abstract: A cutting tool and associated positioning templates locate and cut rectangular junction box holes in dry wall or similar sheet material forming structural surfaces. Templates defining a medial positioning slot and providing a spaced pair of positioning pins are carried by pre-established junction boxes and surface sheeting material is established thereover with the positioning pins projecting through the sheet material to indicate positioning slot location. The tool provides a body articulately carrying two perpendicular pairs of spaced parallel saw blades that are moved reciprocably by spring biased driving linkage to cut rectilinear holes in the sheet material over the junction boxes. The saw blades have arcuate edges defining cutting teeth of opposite pitch on each side of the arcuate edge of the tool to aid positional maintenance and prevent chatter during cutting.
