This tool is the best thing ever made. I’m using it now on my trex and it looks beautiful with no nails showing. Who ever designed this is genius

Thanks for showing what it looks like after the screw is seated. This is the most important part and you nailed it, thx!

Just finished my deck and used this system The hidden screw look is worth the extra effort. Make sure the wood is fairly; true as the very small head won't pull a crooked board tight or straight. Highly recommended.

Finally, someone who put up a training video that demonstrated the tools and components so it's easy to see how it works. Thank you!

I used the Camo deck fastener on my back porch floor and steps. Very easy to use. After I was finished, my wife asked me when was I going to nail the boards down. Told her that they were already screwed down. She was so used to the old nails always coming up and possibly hurting the grandkids. I redid my porch over two and half years ago and not a single screw has ever come out or up. Made quick work of screwing the boards in place.

I used this as well. You really need to make sure it is 100% flat down on both sides or you ll have visible screw holes.

Doing my deck with these was satisfying and the tool works as promised. My only regret is using the the cheaper kit version which only lets you set up one screw from one side instead of two from either side like the pro version. The pro clamping system also appears to be better and the overall build is substantially better. It’s well worth the extra money to get the pro version.

Put wood on my deck with this - worked great. BUT now I need to remove a couple boards to replace them and i ma having all kinds of trouble getting the screws out.

Just got one for a deck build next week. Looking forward to it.
I have the same drill press as you. Mine is an old one passed down to me from my Dad. Thought it was a lonley relic!
Cheers!

This tool is excellent. The screws are hidden from sight, safe for bare foot and they look so much cleaner.
I would recommend having a small crow bar and 2x4 handy for boards that are bent. The crow bar to open up tight gaps and the 2x4 to get the boards tight. Work from the middle of the board outwards as this is much easier than starting at one end.
The tool will take more time, but the finished look is top notch!

These screws are awful if you make a mistake and try to take them out. Run the drill in reverse to try and remove one and they will pull out of the bottom piece of wood but suck themselves deeper into the top piece sometimes. They are a nightmare to get out

Kreg makes a jig system similar The screw goes in a little further down the shoulder

They look nice, but they are hard to remove if you need to service the deck in the future

We are using this tool on a project for our architecture studio and we have two concerns that you may be able to answer. 1: the holes are quite visible, not so hidden, so would we have to fill in every one if we want the clean? 2: the screw and bit leave marks on the opposite boards, is there a standard routed edge for these to be clean?

I have kinda read or heard that face attachment is much better for cupping etc, or maybe stronger. If so, is the difference really a big deal?

Thought this would split the board, but glad they designed that it out.

This companies web site has a board straightener bar. Use it to close your gaps as you install

I use this product on my decks now! It works awesome! I made a couple videos on it also!

I’m looking to use this on ultra hard wood and I’m curious how hard it may be to run a predilection bit through the tool first?

Couple of questions? Can I easily remove a board if it is damaged overtime due to exposure etc and simply just replace again??? and are the screws removable after the boards have been coated with an oil or water base sealer?
