Building Member Gapping Tool and System

A building member installation tool, comprising:

• a rail system comprising at least one rail extending in a longitudinal direction;
• a first end bracket at a relatively distal side of the rail system;
• a second end bracket at a relatively proximal side of the rail system;
• one or more floating brackets positioned longitudinally between the first end bracket and the second end bracket, wherein
• each of the one or more floating brackets is longitudinally spaced from each other and from the first end bracket and second end bracket along the rail system, and
• each of the one or more floating brackets is longitudinally movable along the rail system a longitudinal distance delimited by a longitudinal slot in the respective floating bracket or delimited by a respective longitudinal slot in the at least one rail.

A building member installation tool, comprising:

• a first rail extending longitudinally;
• a second rail extending longitudinally and being slidingly engaged with the first rail with at least a portion extending therefrom;
• a first flange engaged with the first rail or the second rail and extending therefrom in a first non-longitudinal direction;
• one or more floating flanges engaged with one or both of the first rail and second rail and longitudinally movable relative thereto, wherein
• the installation tool is configured to trap one or more building members between the first flange and the one or more floating flanges via tightening the first rail to the second rail.
