Hand tool for installing deck boards. Holds the next board against the one already fastened so the installer can drive screws or hidden fasteners without stopping to clamp, kneel, or wedge the board straight with a pry bar.

• Use: deck board installation and straightening
• Pulls cupped or bowed boards into alignment
• Leaves hands free to drive fasteners
• Manufacturer part number: 00300

Tip: Set the tool one or two joists away from where you are fastening - that gives the lever leverage without forcing the board into a kink at the fastener.
