Abstract:
1. A tool for manipulation of a peg in a substrate, said tool comprising: an elongate first component having at an end thereof means for engaging a peg in a substrate and applying a withdrawing force thereto; a second component slidable along said first component from a first position to a second position where opposing striking surfaces of the first and second components impact with each other so that an impulsive said withdrawing force is transmitted by the first component to the peg, wherein said second component comprises a hammer head portion adapted for hammering pegs into a substrate, and further comprises an elongate handle portion adapted to be gripped by a user when hammering pegs into a substrate using said second component as a hammer, wherein the handle portion has an internal space and wherein a portion of said first component having said striking surface of the first component is received in the internal space of the handle portion and slideable therein in a longitudinal direction of said handle portion, wherein said hammer head portion comprises a massive part; wherein an elongate tension member is secured to said massive part and is received in said internal space of said handle portion; and wherein said striking surface of said second component is comprised in the tension member; wherein: (a) said tension member comprises two elongate arms that: (b) said striking surface of the second component is comprised in the joining means; and wherein said first component has a formation which comprises said striking surface of said first component and which is slidingly received between said arms.
