Abstract: A carpenter's tool for use in construction of wood framed structures includes an elongated handle having one end sharpened for penetration into wood and a bar pivoted to the handle adjacent the sharpened end. A sharpened member at the outer extremity of the bar has a tip extending in the direction of the sharpened end of the handle. An L-shaped hook may also be attached to the handle, preferably on the side opposite the bar side. The tool is useful in enabling one person to adjust the position of a warped or twisted wood structural member with one hand, leaving the other hand free to fasten the member in the correct position.
