ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an apparatus for use in installing tack strips (e.g., as in carpet installation). This apparatus includes a body that has a longitudinal reference axis, first and second longitudinally spaced ends, and a longitudinally oriented body aperture that extends along the reference axis and between the first and second ends of the body. Further, a striker pin that is movable along the reference axis is disposed within at least a portion of the body aperture. Still further, at or toward the first end of the body of the apparatus is a tack strip track assembly that has a tack strip-accommodating guide channel defined therein. Moreover, this track assembly generally includes a substantially immobile spacer for promoting appropriate spacing of a tack strip from a surface.
