Decking

Impact drivers and collated screw guns both drive fasteners, but the mechanisms work differently and the productivity gap widens dramatically on large decking projects.

Collated screws solved the problem of loading fasteners one at a time. The plastic strip system is clever engineering that breaks apart exactly when it needs to.

Pressure-treated lumber isn't just soaked in chemicals. The process forces preservatives into the cell structure of wood using vacuum and pressure cycles that change how the material behaves.

Deck screws aren't wood screws with better marketing. The coatings, threads, and drive systems are engineered responses to the chemistry of treated lumber.
