Abstract
A bracket installation tool includes a tool body having a length extending along a longitudinal axis of the body, a proximal end, and a distal end. The body defines a longitudinal slot extending along the length. The body includes a body mating feature disposed along the longitudinal slot. A handle is coupled with the proximal end and a receiver hitch is coupled with the distal end. The receiver hitch is configured to receive a portion of a bracket for a window covering. A stop is slidably engaged with the slot along the length. The stop includes a lock mechanism. When in a locked configuration, a lock mating feature of the lock mechanism engages the body mating feature to fix a location of the stop. When in a free configuration, the mating features are disengaged such that the lock mechanism and the stop are slidable within the slot.
