For grooved board decking, it’s hard to beat the TigerClaw TC-G hidden deck fastening clip. It’s fast, easy to use, provides automatic 3/16” board spacing, and there won’t be a fastener in sight, assuming you use FastenMaster Cortex system for your perimeter boards.
However, if you’re a professional or just a DIY enthusiast who knows the value of having the right tools for the job, we recommend investing in the TigerClaw Pneumatic Installation Gun to install grooved deck boards with TC-G clips at lightning speed.
Check out the video below that shows a regular hand drill versus the TigerClaw Pneumatic Gun:
As you can see in the video, the TigerClaw TC-G clip can be installed with the installation gun in four simple steps:
- Place the clip on the nose, prong side up.
- Slide the gun to the right to free it from the clip.
- Rest the gun flat on the joist, push down, and pull the trigger.
- Put the clip under the groove in the decking.
If you make a mistake, a cool feature is that the installation gun uses scrails–a screw nail–that drives in like a nail and can be removed like a screw, making it easier to back out of installs.
The gun can be powered by a standard CO2 tank, with the recommended pressure being 80-100 PSI.
When you combine the TigerClaw TC-G clip with the TigerClaw Pneumatic Installation Gun, you get fast, professional installation, compatibility with other great clips, and, of course, the satisfaction of using a cool power tool to create a beautiful fastener-free deck surface.
Plus, TigerClaw is offering a great deal. When you buy 2 boxes of scrails and 2 buckets of TC-G fasteners, you get a free installation gun!
