CAMO Marksman Pro Hidden Deck Fastening Tool Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am so glad that the salesman who sold me the Azek decking also showed me this tool. I admit that I am not that knowledgable about deck fasteners, but wanted the look of the hidden fasteners. Since I live near the ocean, I knew that I had to go with stainless steel, and the prices that I had gotten on other systems (for an 800 sq ft deck) were through the roof. I was just about to give up when he showed me the Camo system.
It made sense, was suprisingly easy to get used to, and we have already made great progress (80% done), with just 2 of us working on it for 3 days.
I agree with the other reviewer, it makes for a long day of bending, etc. But you get great results, and money saved over more expensive systems.
It's a no brainer to get identical spacing throughout the entire project, and it adds a professional look to the project that would have taken a lot more steps to accomplish without the tool.
Yes, at the end of the day, you wind up with a one trick pony tool...but I'll hold onto one, just in case other projects or repairs come up, and the other, well, there's aways reselling.

Cepco Tool BW-2 BoWrench Decking Tool Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The BoWrench is the best decking tool I have ever used because its easy to use, and it doesn't mar joists like other ones. As a contractor that builds a couple of decks a year, this has paid for its self many times over. You can achieve proper gap spacing with out digging through the lumber pile for straight boards(if they exist anymore!). I would highly recommend the BoWrench to any deck builder.

A deceptively simple-looking tool, the BoWrench is a boon for both professional deck builders and do-it-yourselfers. The BoWench gives you a fast, one-person way to straighten decking boards. This is great, because decking material--whether redwood, cedar, or another, more exotic rot-resistant wood--is often warped, especially in 14- to 16-foot lengths. To operate the BoWrench, you simply fit the tool on a joist, swing the lever arm, and release. You can either push or pull boards into alignment, and when the handle is perpendicular, the tool locks in place, holding the board securely and leaving you free to drive nails or screws. The BoWrench is better than toe nailing. Burying nails in the sides of decking to close gaps works, but it gives water more ways to enter the decking, which eventually leads to rot. With the BoWrench, you'll save time, create a longer-lasting surface, and maximize material. Using the special cam attachment (sold separately), the BoWrench replaces the clumsy beater block as the best way to close gaps in tongue-and-groove plywood and paneling.
