By now, you already know that the Hardwood Wrench™ is the world’s strongest deck tool.

For contractors & deck builders in particular, this deck board straightening tool will last longer than any other tool on the market.

How can you be sure that the Hardwood Wrench™  is worth the investment?

1- Made by and for deck builders. The Hardwood Wrench™ is the only deck tool on the market designed for deck builders in mind. This is not a “one off” tool that you have to throw away after it bends out of shape, or becomes unusable. In fact, it’s been specifically designed to be used again and again and again. You never have to settle for a weak tool again.

2- Max bending power. The claim that the Hardwood Wrench™ is the strongest deck tool for hardwood decking has been scientifically proven. With a maximum bending force of 1078 lbs, our decking tool offers strength that is up to 80% more than other tools tested.

3- Easily adjustable. Not only can you adjust to various joist sizes, but the handle is also reversible.

4- Bend the strongest hardwoods with one fluid motion. No more pulling and wrenching your back. This deck tool was designed to take all the force so that you don’t have to exert much energy.

5- Do you work with wood, composite decking, or PVC? Regardless of the material, you can depend on the Hardwood Wrench™.

There are so many different types of deck fasteners. Some are made of metal, some are made of plastic, and some, like the Extreme™ and ExtremeKD™ are made of both.

When you use a hidden deck fastener that combines the strength of stainless steel with the enduring qualities of plastic, you will extend the life of your deck. This combination of materials also ensures that you save a ton of money thanks to the greatly reduced maintenance issues. What does this mean for you?

More time spent enjoying your deck instead of slaving over it.

When you do your research and compare deck fasteners, you’ll quickly realize that because the Extreme™ and ExtremeKD™ require diagonal installation, you’ll also end up building a deck that is proportionality stronger too.
