Bow Wrench

Michael Holigan: Chris, tell me about the bow wrench.

Demonstrator (Chris Pasto, Cepco 800-466-9626): Well it's basically a board bending device and useful for taking the bow out of any lumber you might have or joining tongue and groove materials.

M.H.: So if you have warped lumber you can use that to build your deck and then after you move it in place just put your screws in?

Demonstrator: Yeah, you simply slip it over the joist, swing the handle and let go.

M.H.: How about this one over here? It looks like you're doing it with tongue and groove?

Demonstrator: Yeah. This has a special cam that's made to mate with the tongue of the tongue and groove material so you don't damage it. It keeps the tool in place.

M.H.: It's at the right place.

Demonstrator: Just swing it right around.

M.H.: Ready to nail down.

Demonstrator: Once you get nearly perpendicular you let go.

M.H.: Doesn't take much force either.

Demonstrator: No, and we've got the adjustable joist gripper...

M.H.: Okay.

Demonstrator: ...for use with...

M.H.: Bigger joists, different joists.

Demonstrator: ...larger joist, up to 6 1/4 inches.

M.H.: Well, great invention.

Demonstrator: Thank you.
