Abstract
A board pusher tool is provided to hold one or more boards in a readied position and orientation relative to one another and an underlying joist. The pusher can include a base, a magnet joined with the base to secure the base in a fixed position relative to an underlying joist constructed from a magnetic material, a bumper reciprocally joined with the base, a guide joined with the bumper to allow the bumper to extend a predetermined distance away from the base, and a biasing element pushing the bumper away from the base, where the bumper forcibly urges the board away from the base, optionally toward or against another board, while the magnet secures the base in the fixed position relative to the underlying joist. A related method of use is provided.
