Look Ma, One Hand!
Wrangling rebellious deck boards that just aren't quite straight comes with the territory when installing a deck. This struggle with warped boards is magnified when you're flying solo on a job or taking on a DIY project.
And if you're trying to tame those warped boards with a pry bar or chisel... well, what can we say? Don't. There's a better way, and it's the Hardwood Wrench Jr.
The Hardwood Wrench Jr. is one of the most advanced board straightening tools ever created for edge-groove and face screw board fastening. With a rotating cam that can dish out an impressive 1,100 lbs. of force, this tool is all about bending boards into submission and making your deck board installation a breeze.
Say goodbye to the struggles. Say hello to the tool that provides you with what DeckWise calls "One-Man, One-Hand Installation." Call it a superpower if you want. We do.
Easy as 1-2-3
Using the Hardwood Wrench Jr. couldn't be easier. Start by setting your deck boards in place to install hidden fasteners or face screws.
When you encounter a rogue board, position the Hardwood Wrench Jr. onto a joist (it plays nice with both single- and double-joist configurations). Slide it up the joist so the locking cam touches the edge of the warped board.
Now, effortlessly swing the handle upward to lock the board into a straight position and ta da! You're free to continue installing deck fasteners without frustration, delay... or a second set of hands.
1: Place the Hardwood Wrench Jr. tool on the joist.
2: Rotate the handle to straighten the deck boards.
3: Cam locks in place holding boards straight while fasteners are installed.

Straightening and securing your boards in place is a snap thanks to DeckWise-patented technology and these handy Hardwood Wrench Jr. features:

BONUS: The Hardwood Wrench Jr. has no uncooperative wheels or flexible tubing that can slip or spin off the board edge, forcing you to stop fastening just to reset the tool again (and again). Perfect.
