FastenMaster’s Cortex fasteners are now compatible with the stand-up PAMFast Tool for use on advanced PVC decking from TimberTech. The powerful combination of Cortex fasteners and the PAMFast Tool not only delivers a fast and easy installation process but also ensures a good-looking deck and a flawless, professional finish.
The PAMFast autofeed system is designed to provide smooth consistent fastener installation, prevent jams, and provide maximum fastener engagement and torque to prolong bit life and reduce cam outs. The countersink system is adjustable to 1/64", and each strip of Cortex fasteners holds 50 screws for more time driving and less time reloading. Additionally, the PAMFast stand-up installation tool reduces bending and kneeling, minimizing strain and effort for the installer.
The Collated Cortex Fasteners are packaged in boxes of 1,050 screws on 21 collated strips that will enable pros to install 300 sq. ft. of decking, assuming two fasteners installed 16" on center. In addition, each box comes with a driver bit, two PAMFast nose guards and a depth guide that allows pros to perfectly set fastener depth for consistent installation. Collated Cortex Plugs for TimberTech PVC decking are sold separately in boxes of 400, and available for all 14 colors of TimberTech PVC decking in the Harvest, Vintage and Landmark collections.
“We’re excited to combine our Cortex Fastener technology with our PAMFast drive system for TimberTech Advanced PVC Decking,” said Anthony DiSanto, decking product manager at FastenMaster. “Now PROs can combine collated Cortex screws and collated Cortex plugs to greatly enhance installation productivity. In addition, they’ll benefit from using a stand-up tool, which is a great ergonomic benefit for contractors.”
