ABSTRACT:
A board spacing tool comprising a balanced handle defined by a geometrically-shaped body having a front-end portion and a rear-end portion wherein the rear-end portion has a rocking surface to lift a planar board spacing or wedging member perpendicularly coupled to the bottom surface of the balanced handle. The bottom surface of the balanced handle has a substantially straight front-end portion and a rear-end portion gradually curving upward to permit rocking thereon. The planar board wedging member is adapted to be wedged between two adjacent floor slats. To remove the tool, the balanced handle is rocked on the rocking surface to lift and raise the planar board wedging member. Thus, other carpenters' tools are not required to remove the tool when wedged.
