# Fastener installation system and related method

## Abstract

A fastener installation tool can include a handle and a nose assembly including a guide defining a bore having a longitudinal axis, a first tooth adjacent the bore and a second tooth. The first tooth can fixedly join with the nose assembly and selectively engage a round upper corner between an upper surface and a side surface of a board. The second tooth can join with the nose assembly and can move from a retracted mode to an extended mode in which the second tooth is configured to engage the side of the board. The longitudinal axis can be oriented by the first and/or second tooth engaging the board to place that axis at a point of intersection with the board at a first depth being 0.010 inches to 0.125 inches, inclusive, or about 0.050 inches, below a lower surface of the handle. A related method of use is provided.
