    摘要: A clip fastener guide is provided including an upward opening funnel, a barrel and a guide base. The guide base can include a handle including a grasping surface configured so a user can grasp and manipulate the guide, and can define a guide recess disposed below the elongated barrel. A clip can include a clip base, a clip wall extending upward from the clip base, and a clip arm that extends from the clip wall over the clip base. The clip base can be disposed in the guide recess, and can define a fastener hole, the fastener hole aligned with the elongated barrel. The handle can be graspable by a user to impair rotation of the clip as the clip is installed relative to a workpiece. Related methods of use are provided.

    摘要: A board pusher tool is provided to hold one or more boards in a readied position and orientation relative to one another and an underlying joist. The pusher can include a base, a magnet joined with the base to secure the base in a fixed position relative to an underlying joist constructed from a magnetic material, a bumper reciprocally joined with the base, a guide joined with the bumper to allow the bumper to extend a predetermined distance away from the base, and a biasing element pushing the bumper away from the base, where the bumper forcibly urges the board away from the base, optionally toward or against another board, while the magnet secures the base in the fixed position relative to the underlying joist. A related method of use is provided.

    摘要: A fastener unit and related method for securing a board to a support is provided. The fastener unit includes a spacer block, a grip element extending from the spacer block and configured to fit in and engage a groove of the board, and one or more resilient compression elements joined with the spacer block. The resilient compression elements can be vertically compressible so at least a portion of it can move from an open mode to a compression mode and fit within, then forcibly expand within, the groove, thereby securing the spacer block in a position adjacent the groove to establish a gap between the board and another board. Related methods of use also are provided.

    摘要: A fastener cap system can include a rigid cap and a sealing member which forms a liquid barrier so moisture is impaired from entering a space under the rigid cap and/or around a fastener installed through it. The sealing member can include a central seal disposed on an upper surface of the cap, the seal extending beyond a head of a fastener, which extends through the cap and sealing member, so that moisture is impaired from entering the cap under the head. The sealing member can be above and below respective lowermost and uppermost cap surfaces so the cap system can be fed cleanly and efficiently through a cap feeder during installation via a tool. The sealing member, which can have a higher coefficient of friction than the rigid cap, thereby does not drag along a cap feeder and cause feeding issues. Related methods of manufacture and use are provided.

    摘要: A fastener unit and related method for securing a board to a support is provided. The fastener unit includes a spacer block, a grip element extending from the spacer block and configured to fit in and engage a groove of the board, and one or more board engagement elements extending from a portion of the spacer block. The board engagement elements can clamp the board, between an upper and/or lower surface of the board and a groove of the board, thereby securing the spacer block in a position adjacent the groove to establish a gap between the board and another board. Related methods of use also are provided.
