Pull up floors, allowing in Charlie's piledriver (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sock

'piledriver' is the definition.
(both can mean a hit in a fight)

'pull up floors allowing in charlie's' is the wordplay.
'pull up' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'pulled up' mean this).
'floors' becomes 'kos' (to KO is to knock out in boxing).
'allowing in' is an insertion indicator.
'charlie' becomes 'c' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'kos' going around 'c' is 'kcos'.
'kcos' in reverse letter order is 'SOCK'.

(Other definitions for sock that I've seen before include "one with wind" , "Foot-covering" , "Foot covering" , "Wallop" , "Thump" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
