345002 DECK TOOL HIDDEN FASTNR PRO-X1

Description

Overview

The 345002 Deck Tool Hidden Fastener Pro-X1 (0345002) is designed for hidden deck fastening applications requiring a fastener-free, professional-grade deck surface on pressure treated lumber.

Technical Features

• Automatic 1/16 in. board spacing: Engineered specifically for pressure treated lumber, eliminating the need for manual gap measurement and ensuring consistent spacing across the entire deck field.
• Angled edge-fastening geometry: CAMO edge deck screws are driven into the board edge at an angle, pinning each board from both sides and utilizing the full length of the screw shank for maximum holding strength.
• Fastener-free deck surface: Screws are concealed on the board edge rather than the face, producing a clean, uninterrupted top surface without visible fastener heads.
• T-15 star drive bit compatibility: Designed for use with the T-15 star drive bit to achieve consistent, automatic fastener depth control, reducing over-driving and surface damage.
• Coarse-thread screw compatibility: Works with CAMO coated trimhead hidden edge deck screws featuring coarse threading, which provides greater resistance to stripping and improved long-term durability.
• Rake tip screw design: Compatible screws include a rake tip that augers out material during driving, reducing the risk of splitting, cracking, and bubbling in the deck board.
• Coated trimhead screw compatibility: Works with CAMO’s coated trimhead edge screws, which are designed for a low-profile installation along the board edge.

Applications

• Pressure treated lumber decking: The Pro-X1’s 1/16 in. automatic spacing is specifically calibrated for pressure treated wood, which requires tighter gap tolerances compared to hardwood or composite materials.
• New deck construction: Suited for full deck installations where a clean, fastener-free surface finish is required from the outset.
• Deck board replacement: Can be used for individual board replacements within an existing CAMO hidden fastener system.
• Professional and contractor use: Designed for repeatable, consistent results across large deck fields without the need for manual spacing tools or measuring devices.

Note: The T-15 star drive bit is included with CAMO edge deck screws but is not included with this tool. For 3/16 in. board spacing on hardwoods, composite, or PVC boards, refer to the CAMO Marksman Pro or Marksman Pro-NB deck tools instead.
