Abstract: The invention is a tool for setting jointed flooring boards, particularly of the tongue-and-groove type, having a bracket of L-shaped cross section to which a length of construction lumber is removably attached by screws. A long handle is rigidly and adjustably attached to the bracket and the user grips the handle to slide the length of lumber back and forth across the floor joists to drive a flooring panel into engagement with a mating floor panel.
