| Decks have undergone an evolution in recent years, from being part of the backyard to part of a home's primary living space. Along with this change has come the expanded use of stainless steel deck screws, recognized as the fastener of choice to protect the investment represented by today's decks.
Stainless steel, however, is softer than hardened steel and often requires pre-drilling with preferred decking materials like composites and hardwoods. Up until now pre-drilling has been time consuming and laborious, but with SMART-BIT® pre-drilling and countersinking can be done in one step, with one tool, more quickly and more easily than ever before. Anyone who has ever used older pre-drilling and countersinking methods will be amazed by the time-savings that SMART-BIT® provides.
For deck builders working with composites, SMART-BIT® offers an additional benefit -- it eliminates mushrooming (the formation of small mounds of waste material near the screw hole surface).
SMART-BIT® understands the need and the importance of pre-drilling. For the first time, the deck fastener and the pre-drilling tool are recognized as the single system they are. Simply match the correct SMART-BIT® size to the deck screw size you want to use and you are ready to go!
The SMART-BIT®/HEADCOTE® System
SMART-BIT® creates a perfect hole and fit for HEADCOTE® color coated stainless steel deck screws. Working together, SMART-BIT® and HEADCOTE® can quickly and easily create a professional finish that will noticeably enhance the overall appearance of any deck.
For all types of decking, the SMART-BIT®/HEADCOTE® System is the ultimate method of deck installation
SMART-BIT® is packed two bits per blister card and comes in three sizes:
#7 Trim Head (Item #BDA130)
#8 Trim Head (Item #BDA131)
#10 Flat Head (Item #BDA136)
Overall Length
SMART-BIT® makes a hole 1-1/8" deep, including the depth of the countersink. It is general practice not to pre-drill the underlying (joist) material, as this is usually treated lumber and does not require pre-drilling. SMART-BIT® provides sufficient depth for installing deck lumber up to 5/4" nominal size.
