Starborn Deckfast Fascia Tool

Works well

Used to attach my Trex fascia boards. Very easy to use. Great looking results

Perfect

This tool worked just as designed. Thumbs up.

Tool did what said it would do

This really makes quick work of securing composite fascia. The drill bit is sharp, quick and easy and the countersink hole is just right for the fascia screws. Great tool.

As another reviewer said, shavings get caught up in the bit. I didnt have an issue with it damaging the fascia, but it would lessen the effectiveness of the bit. To manage, I pulled off shavings from the bit after every hole drilled which wasnt as bad as it sounds. If you dont remove the protective plastic from the Trex fascia, it can get caught up in the bit and cause issues as well. I left the plastic on to remove at the end and it worked out. After using this to drill about 50 holes, the drill bit fell out. I didnt have the SAE hex bit to tighten it down at the time, so I pushed the bit back in and it seemed fine. Later on, the bit fell in the grass and I lost it. I couldnt find 1/4 bits this short at the hardware store, so I had to use a bit from a hole-saw kit I had. Even that was too long and I had to cut off some of the shaft to get it to the right depth. Had me wishing the kit came with at least an extra bit and the allen wrench to secure it with. Otherwise, it did the job as expected. Another review complained about the diameter of the hole it makes, but the description says this is to allow for expansion/contraction. It didnt cause me any issues.

Works perfect

This tool is exactly what I was looking for! When I was looking for screws I came across this tool and was hesitant to spend the money on it but it makes the installation of my facia boards on my deck look great! It is easy as drilling a hole anddoes not mark up the board. I don’t know how many materials this will be effective on but I’m certainly going to try to use it in other projects using wood rather than drilling a countersink hole with a traditional bit.

Worth the cost. Flushing the fasteners make them much less noticeable!
