Install decking in half the time using the CAMO EDGE Clip



- CAMO EDGE Clips can be used with wood, composite, capped composite, and PVC grooved deck boards.

- With a revolutionary design, EDGE Clips legs attach around the joist for a fast and easy installation that eliminates the need for partially installing the clip.

- EDGE Clips were specifically designed for 90° decking patterns. For any angled decking pattern, use the EDGEX Clip which has wings that fit into the groove of the board.

- The Stainless Steel screw is 2-¼ inches for a secure hold, and the Star Drive reduces cam-outs and stripped screws.

- Easily secure the clips to the joist with the Never-Miss Guide included in every package. The Guide sits over the top of the screw and directs the driver bit onto the screw head for fast installation.

- EDGE Clips are warranted for use in leading grooved wood, capped composite, and PVC decking products. Always follow the deck board manufacturer’s suggested side-to-side and end-to-end spacing recommendations when installing. If you install your deck boards following the manufacturer’s installation instructions and the EDGE Clip damages the deck board, CAMO will replace the board.



Use CAMO DRIVE for a 5X Faster Installation with EDGE Clip



For the fastest and easiest installation, secure EDGE Clips with the CAMO DRIVE tool and Clip Guide. The industry-changing DRIVE attaches to your drill, gets you off your knees, and is the most affordable stand-up tool on the market.

• EDGE Clips are for 90° grooved deck installations with wood, composite, capped composite, and PVC
• One-pass fastening—no partial installation is required
• Up to 88% stronger than leading deck board manufacturer's clips in lateral movement tests
• EDGE Clips can be fastened with the included Never-Miss Guide or with the CAMO DRIVE stand-up tool
• 900 count covers approximately 500 square feet (joist spacing of 16 inches); creates a 3/16-inch gap

The CAMO Edge Deck Fastening System is a fast, easy, and affordable way to install a fastener-free deck surface. Patented CAMO Edge Deck Screws have a rake tip that augers material out as you drive. The Pro Guide allows you to quickly install these screws through the edge of the deck board—not the surface. To use the Pro Guide, attach one of the included driver bits to your drill, load Edge Deck Screws on both sides of the Guide, and drive. It’s that easy! The built-in shoulder on the driver bit sets an automatic depth of drive which prevents over-driving the screw. The Pro Guide is ideal for composite and PVC decking and can also be used on treated lumber, hardwood, and cedar. It fits any 5-1/4 in. (133mm) to 5-3/4 in. (146mm) deck board and creates an automatic 3/16 in. (5mm) spacing.

DECK SCREWS ARE SPECIALIZED FASTENERS DESIGNED TO RESIST CORROSION IN ADVERSE OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. The deck screw drives easily into deck boards, and once set, the head lays smoothly against the deck surface. Deck screws feature a Robertson Drive, also known as a Square, or Scrulox drive which has a square shaped socket in the screw head for high torque and minimal slippage. Since wood decks have many thin planks and must withstand harsh environmental conditions, deck screws are designed to accommodate the challenges of this application. They must resist corrosion, drive easily, and lay smoothly against the deck surface, called countersinking. For these reasons, many deck screws are self-countersinking, self-drilling, and coated with materials that won't rust. Like other screws, deck screws come in a wide variety of lengths and widths, called shanks. They also use different shapes of driver, the part on the screw head that allows a screwdriver to dig in to the wood and rotate. A popular head shape is a square, because it holds the driver and doesn't strip as easily as Phillips heads. One feature of deck screws that makes them easy to install is the sharpness of their point. They often come to a very sharp, narrow point, to reduce the necessity of drilling pilot holes. Especially in a soft deck wood like cedar, these screws can be fastened without needing to pre-drill the hole, called self-tapping. Secondly, screws designed for a deck will propel themselves into place because of their unique shank design. The thread of the screw is measured in degrees, so a shallower degree means more thread along the length. These threads spread out the force, so the screw takes less effort to put in, yet it is still difficult to pull out. Some types of deck screws are lubricated so they slide into the wood even more easily.

• Screw Size #12 (0.216") - Straight Pilot Drill size for Soft Wood 9/64 . Straight Pilot Drill size for Hard Wood 5/32
• Screw length measured from top of flat to tip of screw 4" (4.00") - Screw head Diameter 0.345"
• #3 Robertson Drive ( Square )
• Made of highly corrosion resistant 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel. Type 316 is also used extensively for surgical implants within the hostile environment of the body.
• Deck screws have a type-17 (auger type) thread cutting tip for installation into decking materials. They have bugle heads that allows the screw to depress the wood surface
