CAMO MARKSMAN Edge, Deck Screw Guide for Fastener Free, No Gap, Deck Surface Installation (0345020)

Used this tool along with camo pro x1(?) and it's amazing. The tiniest of holes on the sides of your deck boards. This tool is great for putting down the deck boards up against the house wall or for wider steps that the camo pro x1 isn't wide enough to use. It's amazing the look with no visible screw heads or holes on the top of your deck boards.

Can be aggravating to use but it works

This tool worked exactly as advertised. Consistency with the angle and when applying pressure is very important to achieve desired penetration of the screws. I did have to follow up a number of times with the bit to finish driving the screws in flush but that was very easy to do. Also make sure to not push down on the handle before you start drilling. Overall very pleased.

I'm a little torn on this product. I used it for a 550sqft deck. Despite claims that you can remove boards individually, its not possible if you butt the boards against each other like this tool is made to do. Also, if you butt the boards, one of the screw holes will definitely be visible because you can't go into the side of the board like the tool is designed to do. With all that being said, the tool held up to 1750 screws and I only went through one bit. You have to get used to the angle, because if it goes in at the wrong angle you'll need to drive the screw in with the bit by itself (I kept an extra bit handy so i didn't have to disassemble the jig every time). One very nice thing about the tool is that it holds the screws in there really well, so you're not fussing with holding the screw with your fingers and going in at the wrong angle.

A little hard to use at first and you have to practice on scrap lumber to get the hang of it. Then take your time lining it up. Then when using , it drives the screw to the correct depth.works on different length screws..If you are side screwing your deck boards this will work but, it is time consuming. One con is you have to look down level with the deck board to make sure that it’s positioned correctly. A see thru window would be an improvement.

Very easy to use. No nasty screw heads on my deck at all. Love the clean screwless look.

Requires their specific fastener, not practical for my needs.

Tried this on 1 1/2 Teak decking and it was very difficult to keep it from sliding around. I ended up modifying one of their Marksman Pro models to fasten down 7 1/2” wide deck board. May be easier to use on soft woods.
