BRISTOL, CT -- (Marketwire) -- 03/23/09 -- Tiger Claw Inc. today announced the general availability of a new semi-automatic installation tool that dramatically reduces the already-quick installation of Tiger Claw's groove fasteners. Professional builders and do-it-yourselfers can now build a beautiful nail-free surface deck four times faster than they can through traditional surface screwing. Tiger Claw's fastener gun is currently the only pneumatic fastener gun on the market today.

The installation gun is used with Tiger Claw's TC-G hidden deck fastener for pre-grooved boards.

"We recently attended the International Builders' Show, in Las Vegas, and were thrilled to see the excitement in builders' and journalists' eyes when they saw and tried the new fastener gun," said David Hartmann, president and co-founder of Tiger Claw. "They validated that we have a winning product in our hands. With the speed of the fastener gun, the ease of the TC-G hidden deck fasteners and the convenience of pre-grooved deck boards, builders can decrease their labor time, increase their profits, and ensure happy customers. It's an ideal building package for those looking for beautiful, quick-and-easy-to-build, nail-free decks."

The Tiger Claw hidden deck fastener gun was named one of the "Seven Top Picks" from the 2009 International Builders' Show, by Allen Lyle, Co-Host / Producer of Today's Homeowner with Danny Lipford.

About the fastener gun

The fastener installation gun drives a UFO Ballistic NailScrew® in like a nail, but can be removed like a screw. Simply slip the hidden deck fastener into the nose of the gun and position it in the groove of the board. The gun automatically enables perfect positioning of fastener and screw installation with the pull of a trigger. Builders now have a one-step installation process for hidden deck fasteners

Tiger Claw's inventors say, when compared to manually inserting the hidden deck fastener into the groove with your fingers, the gun decreases installation time by about 50%.
