Awesome tool! (Rating: 5.00) Review : I am building a new home that has two large porches, two large decks and a small balcony. I decked the first porch with T&G Mahogany before I purchased this tool. What a pain! The boards required significant "tweaking" to get them to lay tight. I tried various methods of prying the boards tight with very unsatisfactory results. The best method required screwing a 2-by along the joists, using a piece of scrap T&G board and prying against it with a flat bar. Then the fun would begin; trying to hold the board tight with one hand and trying to get a screw driven into the deck board with the other. The BoWrench simplifies everything! I started on the second porch after I bought this tool (I bought the T&G attachment as well). The wrench's "cam-action" not only pulls the deck boards tight, but it holds them there freeing up both hands. I am actually able to use some of the boards I culled from the first porch as being too warped; the BoWrench just pulls them into place. Also, by switching the pivots you can "push" a board instead of pulling it. This was very useful on the porch when I was close to the house. I can't wait to use it on the rest of the decks. I can't imagine not having one of these tools if I planned on building more than one deck in my lifetime. Definitely worth the money! Must be better than the Stanley version (Rating: 5.00) Review : I just used my new bowrench and loved it. It is well made and works well. I was concerned that the Stanley tool might be of higher quality, but I'm not any more. Also, I could not get enough information on the Stanely tool to see if it would even work this well. Being able to lock tool into place is priceless... Works for me (Rating: 5.00) Review : All the ads for this product show it being used on 5/4" lumber. I didn't know how it would perform on 2x's, but with the poor quality of pressure treated lumber around here, I definitely needed some help. I'm glad I bought the BoWrench. I just finished a 12' x 24' deck using 2" x 6" lumber, and this tool muscled them into position with ease - just needed a 1/4" shim to compensate for the thickness. Couldn't Live Without BoWrench (Rating: 5.00) Review : I'm an avid do-it-yourselfer and just added a 1,000 square foot deck addition onto our home. I purchased a Bowrench to straighten 5/4" deck boards and it is amazing! Just slip it on the joist and pull the handle - it straightens the board and leaves you with both hands free to fasten the board. Since then I've used it for installing 1" x 6" pine T&G on our kitchen ceiling and for installing log siding on a small cabin we built. I have a shop full of tools and it's one of my favorites! (and this is the cheapest place I could find it at) |
