1. A tool for assisting in the installation of horizontal siding boards, comprising inner and outer upstanding slidable members held together by means of a nut-and-bolt type fastener, in which a bolt of said fastener is bored on its longitudinal axis to slidably accept a nail-like pin, the diameter of said pin being substantially the same as that of nails normally used in siding board installation, the length of said pin being greater than the overall length of said fastener, wherein the longitudinal axis of said bolt is coincident with a horizontal nailing line of a siding board being installed;

  • a nut of said fastener having a closed end which is drilled to slidably accept said pin, said nut being sufficiently long to provide a space between said closed end and the end of the threaded portion of the bolt, when said nut is in a tightened condition on said bolt.
