ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for installing a tack strip or the like providing a rigid frame having an adjustable guide which spaces the tack strip at a proper distance from a wall, baseboard, or other guide. An adjustable base on the apparatus varies the width of an open space in which a tack strip to be installed is positioned and located. The base gap width thus can be adjusted to position differing width tack strips as necessary. A central hammer equipped with an impact head is hit with a conventional hammer or the like, when the tack strip nailer is located above a spot in the tack strip where it is desirous to hammer a nail to secure the tack strip. The hammer can be equipped with a magnetic tip portion for holding and properly orienting nails to be installed. Additionally, the hammer is adjustable in its longitudinal position over the tack strip allowing the proper placement of the hammer to correspond with different tack strip widths. Normally, the hammer must be adjusted to place it vertically over the nails located in the center of the tack strip. The device is equipped with a pair of track strip cutters, each provided with an impact receptive head which allows force to be applied to the cutter by a conventional hammer blow. The cutters are installed on opposite sides of the frame, thus allowing a cut to be made on either side of the frame. A curved claw is also attached and provided as an aid to the removal of nails as desired.
