National Nail’s CAMO® DRIVE™ Tool and CAMO EdgeClips® Receive 2019 Pro Tool Innovation Award

The CAMO DRIVE stand up tool was a winner of the Pro Tool Innovation Award, along with revolutionary CAMO EdgeClips. The clips can be driven in with CAMO DRIVE’S clip end attachment.

National Nail announces its CAMO DRIVE (TM) tool and industry-changing CAMO EdgeClips® have received the Pro Tool Review’s prestigious 2019 “Pro Tool Innovation Award” (PTIA) in the Accessories and Fasteners category.

Designed with contractors in mind, CAMO DRIVE offers stand-up deck fastening for increased productivity and speed, while reducing strain on backs and knees. CAMO DRIVE is capable of helping contractors install decking up to 5X faster than traditional methods. Plus, it comes with three versatile guides for edge fastening, face fastening and efficiently fastening the revolutionary new EdgeClip (for 90-degree installations) and EdgeXClip (for angled patterns) for grooved boards.

“We are very pleased to have two of our exemplary products— CAMO DRIVE and EdgeClips —awarded as top pro tools of the year,” said W. Scott Baker, CEO, National Nail. “We are seeing deck installations absolutely transformed by these two innovations— one that quickly drives the fastener in, and the other that solves the pain points of deck clips which have frustrated contractors over the years.”

The Pro Tool Innovation Awards started in 2013 to recognize innovation in the residential and commercial construction industries, judged by a panel of tool and media professionals from across the United States and Canada.

“A Pro Tool Innovation Award winner will either offer more features, or be more ergonomic, stronger, lighter, faster, longer-lasting, or a better value than the competition,” said Clint DeBoer, PTIA program manager.

DeBoer summed up the judges’ impressions of CAMO DRIVE and EdgeClips: “What’s not to love? It starts with CAMO’s Drive Tool that uses the drill of your choice and gets you off your knees to a standing position. From there, the newest EdgeClips help you hit the nail on the head (actually screw) on the joist accurately every time whether you’re using a standard 90° or angled installation pattern with grooved deck boards. No pre-drilling, no sore knees, just great results!”
