Classification: CPC B  E | IPC B  E

Claim 7:
8. A fastener installation tool comprising:
a frame including a first end and a second end;
a first guide joined with the frame adjacent the first end, the first guide defining a first angled bore, the first angled bore including a first axis adapted to be disposed at a non-orthogonal angle relative to a first side surface of a first workpiece;
a pusher block joined with the first guide, the pusher block projecting downwardly from the first guide a first distance, the pusher block including a pusher block width extending from a first forward face to a first rearward face;
a second guide joined with the frame adjacent the second end in a selectively removeable manner, the second guide defining a second angled bore, the second angled bore including a second axis that is transverse to the first axis of the first guide, and adapted to be disposed at a non-orthogonal angle relative to a second side surface of the first workpiece, opposite the first side surface;
a spacer joined with the second guide, the spacer projecting downwardly from the second guide a second distance, the spacer including a spacer width extending from a second forward face to a second rearward face, the spacer width being less than the pusher block width; and
a handle joined with the frame and moveable to actuate at least one of the pusher block and the spacer to clamp the first workpiece therebetween in a clamp mode,
wherein the pusher block and the spacer are incapable of setting a commonly dimensioned gap between the first workpiece and an adjacent workpiece due to the spacer width being less than the pusher block width.
