Patent attributes
An adjustable fastener-driving tool support system. The support system supports the fastener-driving tool on a top surface of a flooring element to repeatably drive fasteners at a consistent position and angle into either a tongue side or a groove side of the flooring element. A support system includes an elongate channel member, a base and a holder mechanism. A guide member secured with respect to the channel member may also be provided. The base is configured to rest on the top surface of the flooring element to support the channel member at a downward angle with a driving end fastener outlet extending below a bottom surface of the base. Movement of the base along the channel raises or lowers the driving end fastener outlet and guide member so that the guide member can contact the flooring element during fastener driving to support the tool and so that the driving end fastener outlet is positioned relative to the flooring element for fastener driving. The holder mechanism holds the base against the channel member at any one of a plurality of axial positions along the channel member to provide for the repeatable driving of the fasteners at a consistent position and angle.
