Installation apparatus and system for ceiling mounted items

Abstract

An apparatus and system comprises a pole having a top end and a bottom end. The top end is used adjacent a ceiling. The bottom end is used by an installer who is standing on the ground below the ceiling. The present invention is intended to be “modular,” the top and bottom ends being like-configured such that either end can be used as the top end or as the bottom end. Exemplary accessories are shown and described, each of which is disposed in a top end position. There are two types of accessory items contemplated by this invention. First, are fastening tools which are, for the most part, common utilitarian tools used with some sort of specific adapter and/or coupler. Second, there are proprietary accessories, which include offset couplings which can be used to drill and then impact or screw/torque a fastener into an aperture following drilling.
