The award-winning tool is ideal for heavy-duty jobs that require repetitive fastening, such as decks, docks, boardwalks, piers and flooring.
· Quik Drive®: Eliminating the need for installing individual screws or other complicated fastening options, Quik Drive stand-up auto-feed screw driving systems are the fastest on the market while offering a more ergonomic option for repetitive tasks.
· Quik Stik™: Designed for overhead, stand-up fastening, Quik Stik eliminates the need for ladders when fastening rafter and truss connections, and it’s designed for use inside the building structure.
· Strong-Drive® SDPW™ Deflector screw: Value engineered for strength and safety, this premium structural fastening solution connects non-load-bearing walls to trusses and joists. Offset driver bits and a driver extension maximize installation speed and safety while minimizing installed cost.
