A compact tool adapted for removing lateral deflection from a wood plank is disclosed. The tool is provided with a reduced friction connection interengaged with an elongated member and a fastener for removably positioning a U-shaped bracket for receiving a wood joist member or, alternatively, a fastener member for engaging a fixed flat surface, such as plywood. Additionally, a cylindrical member is disposed on an end of the elongated member for reducing a friction factor between the elongated member and the wood plank and for providing a rolling load to remove the lateral deflection in the wood plank. The tool of the present invention provides a method to quickly and efficiently remove lateral deflection from a wood plank while reducing damage to the wood joist member or plywood base.
