Camo Pro Tool X-1 Hidden Deck Fastener Tool
What it is:
- The Marksman Pro-X1 is a manual installation tool made by CAMO (a brand of National Nail Corporation) designed for hidden-fastener deck installations using CAMO deck screws. It’s engineered to fasten deck boards from the edge rather than the top, producing a “fastener-free” top surface look.
- In particular, the Pro-X1 model is aimed at treated lumber / wood decking boards (rather than composite or PVC). The tool sets the gap spacing between boards and guides two screws (one on each side of the board) simultaneously, for each joist line.
Key Specifications & Features:
Here are the important specs for this tool:
- Board width compatibility: Fits boards 5-1/4 in to 5-3/4 in (133 mm to 146 mm) wide.
- Spacing: Automatically creates a 1/16 in (≈1.6 mm) gap between boards (this is designed for treated lumber shrinkage/expansion).
- Fastener location: Uses CAMO hidden deck screws inserted on the edge of the board via the tool’s dual screw guides. The screws are driven at an angle into the board edge to secure it.
- Use case: Designed for treated lumber / soft wood boards. Other versions of the Marksman system exist for composite, hardwoods (for example Pro, Pro-NB) with different gap spacing.
- Looks: The tool has a clamp mechanism that grips the board, ensures alignment, and guides the screws.
