A tool for use in the fixing of plank cladding where the tool includes a first member (1) and a second member (11) shorter than and spaced from the first member (1) to provide the sides of a plank receiving slot (36) which has a bottom (35), a hook (12) on the second member faces away from the first member (1), a plank retainer (21) extends through the first member (10) and is biassed by a spring (28) to obstruct the slot (36). In use the tool hook (12) is engaged with an already fixed support plank and the next plank to be fixed is supported on the retainer (21). When the next plank is part fixed the retainer (21) is withdrawn from the plank slot (36) to allow the part fixed plank to enter further into the slot (36) as the tool is raised to unhook it from the support plank.
