  • Patent number: 4674669
    Abstract: A framer's tool consists of a handle member on which is provided an anvil portion for abutment with the outside surface of a picture frame. An actuating rod extends forwardly from the handle member, and is attached to an operating trigger pivotably mounted therewithin. A driving jaw adjustably mounted on the forward portion of the actuating rod, and has a magnetic component on its lower end for setting framer's points, brads and the like, positioning them with a rearward orientation to be squeezed by the tool into the inner surface of the frame component. The anvil portion on the handle member may have a pair of spaced resilient pads mounted upon it, which cooperate with a rib on the confronting surface of the jaw to bend, and thereby fracture, a prescored piece of glass squeezed therebetween.
