CAMO LEVER Deck Board Straightening & Locking Tool

The CAMO LEVER is a versatile deck board straightening and locking tool designed to make deck installation faster, easier, and more efficient.

Unlike traditional deck board bending tools that require constant pressure, CAMO LEVER features a multi-directional, one-turn locking mechanism that holds deck boards securely in position while you fasten them.

Whether you’re straightening warped pressure-treated lumber or installing composite and PVC decking, CAMO LEVER helps maintain consistent board spacing while reducing the need for additional labour.

Key Features

• Straightens Warped Boards: Powerful leverage helps straighten bowed or warped deck boards for proper alignment.
• One-Turn Locking Mechanism: Locks deck boards securely in position, freeing both hands for fastening.
• Multi-Directional Operation: Adjustable lever works in multiple directions for installation flexibility.
• Universal Decking Compatibility: Works with pressure-treated lumber, hardwood, composite, and PVC decking.
• Multiple Joist Types: Adjustable to fit single, double, and steel joists.
• Consistent Board Spacing: Holds deck boards firmly against spacers or hidden fastening clips.
• Faster Hidden Clip Installation: Locks rows of grooved deck boards and clips in place before fastening.
• Reduced Labour Requirements: Allows one installer to position and secure deck boards without assistance.
• Professional-Grade Design: Built for repeated use on residential and commercial deck installations.

Straighten Warped Deck Boards

Deck boards are not always perfectly straight, particularly when working with pressure-treated lumber or natural hardwood.

CAMO LEVER provides the leverage needed to pull warped boards into alignment and hold them securely until fastened.

Its locking mechanism eliminates the need to maintain constant pressure while installing screws or hidden fasteners.

Faster Installation of Grooved Decking

CAMO LEVER is particularly useful when installing grooved composite and PVC decking with hidden fastening clips.

The tool allows installers to position multiple boards and clips, lock them securely together, and fasten the entire row without constantly adjusting board alignment.

CAMO recommends using 2–4 LEVER tools for the most efficient hidden clip installation.

Compatible Decking Materials

CAMO LEVER works with:

• Pressure-treated lumber
• Cedar and other softwoods
• Hardwood decking
• Composite decking
• PVC decking
• Grooved and square-edge deck boards
