    • Free spinning stop collar protects board surface
    • Durable ball bearing assembly
    • Replaceable Powerbolic® fluted drill bits that cut through decking more than twice as fast as standard wood bits

  • CORRECT USE

    • Choose the tool size gauge that matches the diameter and head style of screw.
    • (The 1-1/8″ overall hole depth is sufficient for installing decking material up to 5/4 nominal (30mm thick)

    *Overall hole depth including countersink portion.

    When installing decking it is general practice to not pre-drill the underlying (joist) material; this is usually treated lumber and does not require pre-drilling.

    The 11/8″ overall hole depth is sufficient for installing decking material up to 5⁄4 thick (nominal).

    **The #14 Smart-Bit® comes with two 40mm bits and one 75mm bit. Durable ball bearing assembly
