CAMO Tools: Building Better Decks Faster

When it comes to building decks, time is money. CAMO tools are designed to save you both, all while ensuring a quality build. As a contractor, you know the value of precision and efficiency, and CAMO delivers on both fronts. Let’s take a look at how three CAMO tools—MARKSMAN PRO®, DRIVE, and LEVER—can transform your deck-building process.

Perfect Angle and Spacing with MARKSMAN PRO

Over time, traditional face fastening has revealed its drawbacks, from the visible screws that can detract from your deck’s appearance to the potential hazards of fasteners popping up over time. With the MARKSMAN PRO edge fastening system, you eliminate these issues by driving screws at the perfect angle, hidden from view, ensuring a clean finish while speeding up installation and reducing mistakes.

MARKSMAN PRO guides streamline edge fastening whether you’re working with treated lumber, cedar, hardwood, composite, PVC, or even narrow boards. Just place the MARKSMAN PRO tool on your board over the joist, load two CAMO Edge Deck Screws, and drive them in with your drill. The tool guides the screws precisely through the edge of each board for an easy, fastener-free deck surface. 

MARKSMAN PRO guides also create uniform gaps between your deck boards, eliminating the need for jigs or spacers—and the endless double-checking—which can eat up time, especially on larger projects. With CAMO MARKSMAN PRO, the spacing is built right into the tool, guaranteeing the perfect gap spacing for proper drainage and a consistent deck surface.

Speed Meets Precision with CAMO DRIVE®

To speed up your decking board installs even more, reach for the CAMO DRIVE tool and cut your fastening time up to half. This stand-up fastening system attaches to your drill and lets you quickly install your deck boards without bending over or getting on your knees. 

The quick-change nose pieces make swapping out for different jobs a breeze:

CAMO DRIVE makes the entire process easy, and it’s indispensable if you’re working solo. You can fasten pressure-treated wood, composite, PVC—whatever you’re working with—up to twice as fast from a standing position, delivering ergonomic comfort along with quick results.

Straighten and Secure with CAMO LEVER®

Wrestling with warped boards is not only frustrating, it’s also a real time-waster that can slow down your project progress. The CAMO LEVER eliminates that struggle, straightening even the most stubborn boards with a simple turn of the handle. And that’s just the beginning.

The CAMO LEVER not only straightens but also locks in rows, boards and clips, keeping everything secure as you move along. CAMO LEVER lets you lay out your deck—6, 8, 10 rows at a time—locking your grooved boards and deck clips in place so that you can screw them all down at once. No more jumping between laying boards and securing fasteners!

When you batch your deck-building tasks, your installs are more efficient, with better focus and fewer errors. You can also get more done with fewer crew members. With CAMO LEVER, what used to require two people can now be done solo, freeing up someone to take on other work.

Streamline Your Decks with CAMO Tools

CAMO tools are game-changers for contractors like you who want to build quality decks efficiently. From ensuring proper spacing and drainage with MARKSMAN PRO to speeding up installation with DRIVE and straightening and securing boards with LEVER, these tools help you streamline your process. And saving time and increasing accuracy means more projects completed in less time—and more satisfied customers. Build better and faster with CAMO tools.
