Abstract: A tool for the installation of wood flooring, or any other flooring that has a tongue and grove design, and where space is limited for the use of larger tools. A Slide Hammer Pull Bar has a lower and upper section designed in such a manner that will not damage flooring boards when it is used to tap the boards into place. The invention includes a base lower section that has a sliding track, and a weighted hammer upper section, movable along the slide base track of the lower section. With a lower vertical extension in contact with a board, the hammer is moved into contact with the solid end of the lower section in a vigorous manner to drive the board into place. The invention is designed and configured so as to allow the unit to be positioned in tight spaces between the boards and any surrounding walls.
