CAMO DRIVE Deck Tool, Stand Up Drill for Decking, Edge, Clip & Face Fastening System

I'm 76 with a bad back. I had to replace the deck boards on a 10'x22' deck this year. I was dreading this because of the bending and kneeling screw them down. Saw this and took a chance, best tool I've ever used. Can stand up to screw in 50 screws in a couple of minutes. Buy it you won't be disappointed.

Re-built my front porch and this saved me so much time screwing in deck boards. It’s a sturdy piece of equipment that feels good in your hands. I will be using it again soon for a new deck and it will again save me time and energy. The screws are a bit pricey but the ease of use and the money I saved buying on Amazon made this a great purchase.

The media could not be loaded. What I personally liked was the fact these decks went together much easier than drilling every single screw by hand. I’m sure my husband could give you a million other reasons but it’s a great piece to have in your arsenal if you are working a bunch of decks, docks, walkways whatever!

This tool worked well once I got the hang of it. They should make some videos to demonstrate how to use it because the instruction manual is not very good. Setting up the tool was not difficult. I was edge screwing and inserted the right bit, tip, and collated screws. Make sure you buy the right screws. They sell collated screws on Amazon (from Toolbox Supply) that do not fit this tool. They are for the Camo Edge Pro tool that comes with a Milwaukee drill. I had to return them. You want the screws in the orange box that go with the DRIVE tool you attach to your own drillThe first time I used it I ruined the bit because I didn't understand the tool. You need to position the tool, press down until you feel a "clunk", which means the bit has engaged the screw head, THEN press the trigger on the drill. If you press the trigger too early you will grind down the bit as it will not be engaged with the screw. After you finish screwing let the tool expand so it sets another screw in position. The tool jambs occasionally. Once you start to drive a screw you can't stop or hesitate. Do it in one motion. Overall the tool worked well and saved my knees. For drilling Azek plastic decking the screws should be pointed, but they are not available yet. I called the company and they are planning on offering collated pointed screws. The flat tipped screws they sell are for wood and they skate a lot on plastic. This was not a huge problem but it happened a few times, especially when screwing at an angle.

Well designed and easy to use. We are retirement age and my husband is still very active however his back pays the price with some activities. We are building 4 new decks this year. We just finished the first one and this Camo Drive was amazing. I love the look of no visible screws in the top of the deck. But I have to say the greater impact was the speed of getting the job done and no back pain from bending over inserting 1000 screws!!! So what is the ROI? Huge.

I was building my deck and bought this to be able to stand up and drive screws. I bought a big box of the screws. About halfway through the box, just below the drill, the supplied bit sheared off and there was no way to access the broken bit shaft to replace it. I had to return it for a refund. There was nothing I was doing that should have resulted in this happening.. I now have half a box of screws and no standup tool to use them!

This tool is awesome. A definite time and knee saver. You can fasten the deck while standing. The screws auto load too. So no holding nails or screws while starting them.

Spent 406 dollars on this camo driver and 2 boxes of screws. I got started the right off the bat began to have problems, the plastic strip kept stripping out of the spring clip. (spring clip need a better clamping system} with the spring system not working I had to keep pushing the screws into the driver position, which took more time than if I would have screwed the deck by hand. They say you can use a battery operated drill, I started out with that but found that a 20 dewalt drill would not last long, so I got out my half inch drill, which I needed with the 3 inch screw with blunt tips (over kill on a 3/4 inch radius deck board..Plastic strips broke several times and pushing the screw into receiver was lot of work. A 350 sf deck took 3 1/2 hours to screw down. I have pictures but this format will not let me post more that one pic at a time. Don't waste your money!
