Abstract
Dual-use flooring installation device with interchangeable tool-ends includes a pull bar defining a bend at a proximal end and a first connector at a distal end, the bend configured for engaging an end of a flooring material; and a wedge bar defining a wedge at a proximal end and a second connector at a distal end, the wedge configured for insertion between a wall surface or a cabinet surface and a flat material attached thereto. The device further includes a slide hammer unit comprising a hammer weight slidable about a shaft, the slide hammer unit defining an adaptor at a proximal end that is configured for removably attaching to one of the first connector of the pull bar and the second connector of the wedge bar. In a storage mode, the adaptor is disengaged from the pull bar and the wedge bar.
