Description

Decking Tool. A deceptively simple-looking tool, the BoWrench is a boon for both professional deck builders and do-it-yourselfers. The BoWench gives you a fast, one-person way to straighten decking boards. This is great, because decking material--whether redwood, cedar, or another, more exotic rot-resistant wood--is often warped, especially in 14- to 16-foot lengths. To operate the BoWrench, you simply fit the tool on a joist, swing the lever arm, and release. You can either push or pull boards into alignment, and when the handle is perpendicular, the tool locks in place, holding the board securely and leaving you free to drive nails or screws. The BoWrench is better than toenailing. Burying nails in the sides of decking to close gaps works, but it gives water more ways to enter the decking, which eventually leads to rot. With the BoWrench, you'll save time, create a longer-lasting surface, and maximize material. Using the special cam attachment (sold separately), the BoWrench replaces the clumsy beater block as the best way to close gaps in tongue-and-groove plywood and paneling. --Jon Groebner A deceptively simple-looking tool, the BoWrench is a boon for both professional deck builders and do-it-yourselfers.

I bought standard #2 grade pressure treated pine to replace my top deck boards. (2x6”, 16’ long) I wish that I had purchased a higher grade lumber that was straight to begin with. However, thanks to this tool I was able to correct crooked lumber and secure deck boards that were properly spaced and look very nice. This tool was very easy to use, took just a short time to get the hang of it, and was greatly helpful. ... show more

    • Bow board winner

Great heavy duty tool to help with keeping your deck boards straight so you can put screws in. Once you get the rhythm down, you can work very quickly. I started using it in the center of the board but noticed when I tightened up on it that the board would shift over. What I did was I put a screw in the end of the board where I wanted (keeping my gap) and then the board would not shift over. I also noticed that if you kept the metal guide that slides down the board that tightens the board lubricated (with water, oil, spit, etc.), it is easier to work. You have to move the tool a few times back & forward to get the positioning right for it to lock into place (so you can release it to put in your screws) but once you figure out the the distance, you can move pretty quickly. You do not want to try to straighten your boards out by trying to leverage a crowbar or other ways. This is an amazing tool. ... show more

    • Super handy tool for decking projects!
Item Package Quantity: 1
We are in the process of replacing a 20+ year old pressure treated pine tongue and groove front porch with pre-grooved cumaru wood boards and hidden clips. The clip system we're using does spacing automatically because the clips are kind of t-shaped, so if you mallet the boards in place tightly, you end up with a pretty consistent gap between each board. As tends to happen though, some boards are not perfectly straight, and you might get one end of the board perfectly gapped while the other end is a quarter inch or more out. In this case you've got a few choices. You can just try to gap the boards out so it doesn't look terrible, you can get a friend to push on the board with something while you screw it down, or you can screw a piece of scrap wood to the joists and pry your new wood into place off of the scrap while you screw it down. Option 1 won't look right no matter how you try, option 2 will make your friend tired, and option 3 might require a lot of installing and removing the scrap board if you've got a bunch of crooked wood. Along comes this BoWrench with another option! It's a long handle with two short rotating bars on the end. You place one over the joist and one on the wood you're installing. When you pull on the handle, it levers off of the joist and the one bar pulls your wood up tight into place. If you pull it far enough, it will lock in place and hold the board tight so you can screw or nail it down. It's not quite like having an extra pair of hands but makes it much easier to do decking by yourself. The wrench itself is a couple feet long and feels solid. It's coated in a safety orange paint and the handle has a slight arc in it to bring it up off the decking so you can get your hand underneath. At the end are two holes for the rotating bars. One has two prongs for gripping the joist and the other is a flat bar for pushing or pulling. You can switch them around and they just go through the holes in the handle and secure with cotter pins. One configuration is for pushing and the other is for pulling. My experience was that pulling is more effective, but you may be limited by the space you have to work with. Speaking of experience, it's not horrible but is a little tricky to use this wrench. If you put the joist gripper too far from your board, the handle will swing weakly and not pull your board enough. If you put it too close, you will have to apply super strength and probably can't move the handle far enough to lock in place. This leads to a bit of trial and error, though you'll eventually get a feel for placement if you have to do enough boards. There's also a tendency for the wrench to pull the board in AND up, which is not what you want because you want the board to sit flat on the joist. I've had to stand on the board while installing it to get it back down, and this sometimes pops the bowrench loose. The last thing worth noting is that if you apply joist tape or other protectant and use the bowrench on top, there's a good chance you'll mar or tear the tape (an earlier review mentions this and has photos). You could just not tape beyond the piece you're wrenching. I've just dealt with it and taped over any tears that happen since my tape is thin and not crazy expensive. Be aware that this particular wrench is for standard 2x4 joists and flat sided boards but they do sell a universal one for other joists or tongue and groove boards. Overall this is a specialized tool but super handy. It's also way more affordable than other similar "hardwood wrench" products (one I saw was $200!) If you're doing a porch or deck product, consider picking up a BoWrench before you start. ... show more

    • This tool is a miracle for doing 1-person deck work
Item Package Quantity: 1
A couple of years ago I faced a dilemma - my cedar deck was starting to rot in places, the previous owner (who built the deck) painted the boards, which also made maintenance a nightmare. I got quotes from contractors to rebuild my deck which were insane. Composite, cedar, whatever, it was a very high number. Then I looked into doing it myself. The base of the deck was solid, but the deck boards, railing and skirting needed to be replaced, at a materials cost of around 25-33% of what was quoted to me. I decided to go cedar again, but ensure that the boards were spaced correctly and I would use stain instead of paint. With the bowrench I felt I was able to tackle the job. I also needed a few other tools - sawzall for demolition, 2 cordless drills (one with bit, one with driver bit), compound miter saw, pocket jig, table saw and a planer (due to some angles in the way the deck was constructed I needed to thin down some 2x4s). I'm somewhat handy but NOT a pro. I was able to resurface a 15x30 deck (including stairs) over a couple months working an hour or 2 each night after work plus around 8 hours each weekend, by myself. Because I took my time I was generally able to hand-pick decking boards, but when you're dealing with cedar of 12+ foot lengths, even dry cedar, it's virtually impossible to get them totally straight. With the bowrench it really didn't matter. Just make sure you use a spacing tool to ensure a consistent gap. I don't think that I could have done the job without this tool, and it's probably the best $60 I have ever invested. Is it perfect? No, because there were a few places where it was harder to hook on to the joist but aside from that it worked extremely well. There's nothing like the satisfaction of a job well done, and many thousands of dollars saved! ... show more

This tool has been used on two deck projects so far. One with deck boards replaced with repurposed materials and one with brand new boards from the lumber yard. There are always boards that have a "slight" curve or bend to them that makes getting 1/4 inch spacing down. The BoWrench Decking Tool is like the Swiss Army Knife for deck building. It can be configured in multiple ways to both push or pull a deck board into place. Aligning 12ft boards were easy and could be done by one person while they attached the board to the joists. I was truly impressed when it was strong enough to pull a 4ft long 2x6 nearly 3/4" into place. The time and headaches this tool saves is worth every penny. ... show more
