Starborn Deckfast Fascia Tool

WORKS FINE

Good tool

Has a collar designed to drill the correct depth every time.

I own a deck construction company with 8 full time crews. Since we are in michigan we have a lot of expansion and contraction which requires us to hang our facsia with this tool. If you live in the south, I would just brad nail my facsia on or even use the smaller head starborn screws instead of these ugly facsia screws. We have to purchase these 100 at a time because they wear out after about 20 facsia boards. The drill bit is low grade steel which isnt designed well to cut through composite. The bit jams up and needs cleared after every hole to prevent damage to facsia. The bit will also fall right out if you try to limp it along to your second deck or so. Do you know what its like to drop $2,000 quarterly on bits that are junk? Sad This product is way too expensive to be so disposable. Very sad. Huge opportunity for the market to make a competing product. I am begging the manufacturer to care...

Works perfectly for NewTechWood Fascia Board Screws. Not much else to say other than it does the job perfectly and is simple to use.

Tool did what said it would do

I posted a question on how to tighten the drill bit. I was not able to answer my own question so here is what I found. A 3/32 hex tool will tighten it up perfectly! This is a wonderful tool to use to make the screw heads nicer to look at.

Installed composite fascia boards and this did a terrific job until the screw bit just fell out of the device and wont stay in.

Does the job intended doesnt leave the cleanest cut on the edge of the counterset but specialty tool brand specific kinda tied to 1 particular tool

Best way to hang composite fascia. Looks better to just have two of these recessed color matching fascia screws every few feet, to hang the composite fascia, as opposed to trying to hide the screws. This tool drills the hole and recesses it all in one go. Gives some room for expansion and contraction. Tip: don’t fasten the screws too tight let it hang like Installing siding.
