DECKFAST® Epoxy screws for pressure treated decking provide unmatched performance, ease of use and value. These high quality deck screws feature extra deep star drive recesses, reinforced flat heads with nibs, Type 17 auger tips, and a specially formulated, color matched, epoxy-based polymer resin coating. The epoxy coating provides excellent corrosion resistance and is designed for high adhesion so that the coating remains intact during installation.
Deckfast Epoxy screws are available in a range of colors (to match all types of pressure treated decking), sizes (from 1-1/4” to 6”), and packs. They are also available collated for use with the Muro® Ultra Driver tool.
Approved for use with ACQ treated lumber. For applications exposed to salt air, near large bodies of water, swimming pools or other areas where corrosion is more likely to occur, use Deckfast® Stainless 316 or Headcote® 316 fasteners.

DECKFAST® Fascia System for PVC and composite deck fascia boards is designed to accommodate the large amount of expansion and contraction that can occur with deck fascia. The precisely engineered Fascia System has two components: the patented pre-drilling and countersinking Fascia Tool and specially designed, color matched, Fascia Screws.
The Fascia Tool creates an over-sized hole for the Fascia Screw, so that the fascia board hangs from the screw without applying a large amount of force on the fastener. Fascia Screws are available in both Headcote® stainless steel or epoxy coated carbon steel.
Approved for use with ACQ treated lumber. Follow the decking manufacturer’s recommendation when selecting either stainless or epoxy coated screws. For applications exposed to salt air, near large bodies of water, swimming pools or other areas where corrosion is more likely to occur, use Headcote® 316 or Headcote® Cap-Tor® xd 316.

SmART-BIT FEATURES
Pre-set CountersinkSmart-Bit matches the head diameter, head angle and countersink depth of corresponding Headcote 305 and 316 as well as Deckfast Stainless 305 and 316 screw sizes for the perfect hole and fit. Everything is pre-set in the tool assembly.
Powerbolic® High-Speed Drill BitThe Powerbolic bit has specially designed fluting that cuts through decking more than twice as fast as standard wood bits, even dense composites and hardwoods.
Pre-set Shaft lengthTogether with the countersink, the overall hole depth for the #7 Trim, #8 Trim and #10 Flat sizes is 1-1/8” deep, designed for use with lumber up to 5/4” (nominal).
Free-Spinning Stop Collar with O-ringThe Smart-Bit stop collar spins free of the drill bit, preventing marring or burnishing of the deck surface. When the stop collar stops spinning, the hole is complete.
Anti-Clog Debris CavityThe Smart-Bit debris cavity gathers waste material, keeping it clear of the countersink, unlike conventional flush mounted countersinks. The waste simply falls out onto the deck surface after each hole is completed.
Replaceable Bit:Smart-Bit tools come with two extra Replacement Bits and a 3/32” hex wrench for use with the set screw that holds the drill bits in place. Replacement Bits are also sold separately in packs of five bits each.

Smart-Bit Tool
*#14 PLUS Smart-Bit sold as #14 Smart-Bit in AU & NZ.*Overall hole depth including countersink portion. When installing decking it is general practice to not pre-drill the underlying (joist) material, as this is usually treated lumber and does not require pre-drilling. The 1-1/8” overall hole depth of the #7 Trim, #8 Trim and #10 Flat sizes provides sufficient depth for installing deck lumber up to 5/4” nominal size.*#14 Smart-Bit and #14 PLUS Smart-Bit come with two (2) 40 mm bits and one (1) 75 mm bit.

SmART-BIT® Deck Screw Depth Setter is designed to make fastening decks, drywall, and general screw setting easier and faster, with clean and uniform results: perfectly set screws every time. The tool is adjustable so that it can be used with many different screw types and sizes, and features an Auto-Stop™ mechanism that sets the screw at the target depth without stripping the screw recess. A free spinning stop collar with rubber O-ring protects the work surface from damage or marking.
The Depth Setter works with both Phillips® and Torx® bits and is designed for use with a full range of Starborn fasteners. The Depth Setter also works well with other fastener products.
