Cepco Tool BW-2 BoWrench Decking Tool

I didn't use it myself but my guys said it worked great and saved a lot of time in laying an ipe deck, 1x6 pieces that didn't really want to bend much. The BoWrench tweaked them right into line.

best $60 i ever spent !
i was using a one inch hardwood on a deck and with the softness of modern day treated 2 x 6,coupled with the lack of straightness of the mangaress. i was having a hard time with the traditional method, of chisel driven into the framing and levering over the board, as this would usually end up with the soft 2 x 6, breaking away.
then i brought the bowrench and hey presto, straightened out boards.
a must for any serious deck builder, or even DIY guys,with a deck project.

This little gadget is simple to use, and incredibly effective. While building our deck, we chose to use longer boards which by nature, are very likely to be warped or twisted. We were able to salvage close to 100 board feet of lumber that we would have been otherwise unable to use, or would have had to cut down into smaller pieces to avoid the gaps. (What good is using the longer boards to start with!)

It makes it very easy to work independently and still have two hands free to attach the board. We would never try to build another large framing or decking project without it!

Besides redecking my existing deck I added 384 sq ft. This tool allowed me to straighten warped boards and keep them aligned. I was even able to do it alone. This tool is a must have for anyone laying a deck!!

We just finished installing a treated wood deck with about 4,000 linear feet of decking. This tool was worth the price if only for this deck. Looking forward to using it with T&G adapter in the future.
