Hidden Fastener Installation Tool, Fits for Trex Hidden Fasteners for Composite Decking Boards, Efficient Home Improvement Decking Tool for Install Hidden Fasteners with Star Drive Bit

I don't know why anyone would complain about this tool. it worked great! I'd recommend it. It helped a lot with keeping the planks tight and consistent, and saved my fingers a lot of pain.

Great tool. Makes job faster and easier to complete.

Does just as good as the name brand. The bit was a little fragile but the screws came with one as well.

This tool definitely sped up the process of installing my Trex deck and saved my fingers from getting pinched in the clips. Even my less experienced or handy friends were able to use it to help get as many clips installed as possible. I bought a few of these, and while one did break, they were still a great investment. I’d definitely recommend picking one up if you’re installing grooved deck boards. As it can be done without the it, this tool ensures the boards will slide into the clips without having to tinker with the clips.

The tool works as advertised. However, the plastic is thin in stress points ans cracked after a half dozen uses

It works great! Like others have said, butyl joist tape requires a looser cinch on the first pass. Makes the job a lot easier and much more consistent. Worth the money.

This is a must-have if you're installing grooved decking boards. The fasteners snap into the tool, so the fastener is held in place when you push the tool against the board, and the funnel feature virtually prevents damage to the boards if the torx bit in your power screwdriver/drill slips.

This is a one use item. I purchased this for installing a small deck. The device worked well but pieces broke off during the deck installation. By the time the decking was done the installation tool was trash. It was great and helped with the deck installation initially. As pieces broke off it became useless. Not recommended for a medium to large project.
