Abstract: A lumber tool for forcing a wooden member supported on a supporting member into fixed position with an adjoining wooden member attached to the supporting member. The tool comprises a U-shaped frame conforming to the top edge and adjacent sides of the supporting member; a locking member attached to the frame for releasably holding the frame in fixed position relative to the supporting member; a push bar slideably attached to the frame for engaging the wooden member to move it into fixed position with the adjoining wooden member; and a leverage handle pivotally attached to the frame and to the push bar so that when the locking member is engaged to hold the frame in fixed position relative to the supporting member and the leverage handle is moved forward, the push bar slides and engages the wooden member and moves it into fixed position with the adjoining wooden member so that it can be affixed to the supporting member.
