ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an impact tool, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for resetting a fastener that allows a force from an impact member to be transferred to the fastener in order to reset the fastener below a surface plane of a material. The apparatus comprises an impact member connected with a guide member, such that the impact member is freely slideable in relation to the guide member between a retracted position and an extended position. A user may reset the fastener by forcing the impact member from the retracted position to the extended position, where a portion of the impact member is extended beyond the guide member to come into contact with the fastener and thereby reset the fastener below the surface plane of the material.
