Abstract: A hand tool for applying fastening members into a supporting surface to secure an elongated object, such as a wire or cable, into the supporting surface. The tool comprises a rectangular, L-shaped body with a contact portion at each end comprising a U-shaped channel for receiving and supporting fastening members. The L-shaped end of the tool is adapted for striking to cause the fastening member to be pushed into the supporting surface. The tool allows the user complete visibility of the fastening member throughout the fastening process. The tool may also include a slide hammer assembly coupled in an intermediate portion of the body to provide a striking mechanism for the tool and a rod may extend beyond the L-shaped end to form a tapered, upwardly curving point for removing fastening members.
