CAMO EDGEClip Hidden Deck Fasteners (450 ct)

Like the design, the engineering, the ease of use, and exceptional screws. A must buy and use item if you are building your deck.

I was using Concealoc and they are so flimsy and inconsistent and SLOW, switching to camo edge, especially if you are doing long board runs, are light years faster, the spacing stays wonderfully consistent, and the "wings" that are used for alignment double as a crud deflector to keep pine needles/etc. from sitting on the joint and rotting them (I use joist tape too, but it's a nice bonus to the #1 way deck frames initially fail due to rot). Not to mention they're cheaper than concealoc to boot.Only con is the gaps are a bit wider than concealoc and you can see the screw in between the boards, but the consistency of the gaps is 1000x better than concealoc so I'll take it.

I don't usually take the time to respond to request for product reviews but when you get everything you expected and more you have to taken the time to let everyone know. I was so impressed with the CAMO Edge Clip Hidden Deck Fasteners I bought I had to take the time.I have built decks before and have used nails, screws, plastic and metal deck board fasteners ... they are all hard to set properly, can be frustrating, time consuming and the end results are sometimes inconsistent loose boards and spacing.These CAMO Edge Clip Hidden Deck Fasteners are well engineered, easy to use and the results are superior to anything I've ever used before ... these guys have thought it through ...! They designed the fastener assembly so it positions almost effortlessly over the joist, aligns the deck board instantly. They provide a #12 screw driver bit and plastic spacer / screw guide that ensures consistent board spacing, keeps you from stripping out the screw head or the drive and keeps you from over driving when setting screw.Just slightly more expensive ($0.02) then the plastic or metal fasteners but the ease of installation and consistent professional results and time saving are well worth the little extra.

I do think that these new decking fasteners are light years above from where they were. It is amazing how easily you can apply them.However, I have just a couple complaints. First, they give you multiple bits because they tend to go bad quickly and then you are stripping out the screw head. They need to make the bed with a more substantial piece of metal. Secondly, the wings to secure both of the boards down are not that long. Just for security purposes, I wish they would be a little bit longer to make sure that everything was secured down. The instructions are kind of interesting when it comes to a seam. They recommend you using to fasteners. Which means you have to put in another piece of wood underneath close enough to the other piece but far enough away to slide both of the fasteners on. I will say they made the job so much easier then the first generation fasteners. And the yellow plastic guide is amazing to use.

These are the best by far fasteners I have ever used for installing Fiberon decking. Easy to use, easy to align, easy to fasten. Much quicker than any other fasteners. Will use again in the future.

Great product

Fast and easy to use. The ONLY hidden fasteners that I will use again.

Needed to take off the deck boards to repair the joists. The folks that put it together originally used a different system. I saw a youtube video about this system , and how well thought out it was, and bought it. It is very well thought out , and works pretty quickly. Love the clips that hold them on the joists. Highly recommend.
