| A must for T&G ceilings |
| I have bought a lot of "tool toys" in my time but this one is the best. I have looked for sometime for a good pry bar when installing T&G, especially ceiling. I thought it was a little pricey but after using it I would never do a ceiling again without the Bowrench with the T&G cam attachment. Not only did it save a lot of time but I did not have to cull out a single board. Used everyone of them. I even looked for boards with big bows just to see if it would work. A simple but very good tool. |
| This ugly duckling will make you look better than you are |
| No rosewood handles. No brass. No light weight alloys. Not accurate to .00001 of an inch. Three square steel tubes, two steel pins and two retaining clips....all painted Halloween orange. It's beauty is in what it does. It will let you easily install decking materials in straight lines, without straining yourself. I installed about 1,000 square feet of 5/4 X6 decking with it. It lets you use the leverage designed into the tool to position each board where you want it and to hold that position while you fasten the board. You simply can't do that by hand. It may look expensive based on the parts description I gave, but it will save you both time and money and make your finished project look much better. |
| One of the most usefull tools I own.... |
| I highly recommend the Bowrench. I just finished installing over 300 sq. ft. of tongue and groove planking on my screened porch. I can't imagine tackling an installation such as this without this simple tool. I was a little concerned on how usefull the tool would be while working on a ceiling. I've got to say, it was a breeze. I particularly liked how it would lock into position, freeing my hands to install fasteners. I just wish I had it when I was laying deck board. Also, I purchased the T&G accessory. This accessory was also very simple, yet helpful in gripping the tongue side of the planks without damaging it. Do yourself a favor and get this tool before taking on any type of decking project. |
