Abstract
A clincher tool including a body including a first face and a second face substantially perpendicular to the first face. The clincher tool further includes an anvil slidably coupled to the body, the anvil being coupled to a first finger and a second finger, the anvil being movable between a first position and a second position. The first finger being movable inwardly in a direction from the first face towards the second face and the second finger being movable inwardly in a direction from the second face towards the first face, providing a force to clinch a corner bead to a corner. An impacting member is coupled to the body and configured to impact the anvil for moving the first finger and the second finger to clinch the corner bead.

- the first finger being movable inwardly in a direction from the first face towards the second face and the second finger being movable inwardly in a direction from the second face towards the first face, providing a force configured to clinch a corner bead to a corner;
- and
- an impacting member coupled to the body,
- the impacting member being configured to impact the anvil for moving the first finger and the second finger to clinch the corner bead.
