Essential tool for installing composite decking July 28, 2009
W. J. Corbin (Mount Juliet, TN USA)
I purchased 3 of these tools to install composite decking and found them to be essential in providing accurate spacing. I am using 20 foot deck boards and there is a fair amount of warping and bending in any board that long. Without the Johnson tool, I would have gone crazy trying to place 16 penny nails or sighting the spacing.
The holes are great for screw spacing, as well.
I have also just used the tools to space ceramic tile for the medallion on my deck. They worked great for that purpose, as well.
I have just ordered 3 more tools to make the remainder of the decking installation go faster.

This is an excellent product. I used it to space and fasten composite deck planks. The two functions the device performs:
1. As a jig for locating nail holes. Since I chose traditional screws, the gauge, when aligned above a joist, allowed for me to punch the hole locations in two adjacent planks. It also worked to properly align fasteners on butt-joined decking. I used a 2x1/4" screws as centerpunches - and the job flew by.
2. To space the deckboards. The gauge has a side for 3/16" spacing, and if you flip it over, the gauge is 1/8" thick. I found having both thicknesses handy to ensure that my deckboards were running parallel to the house. If after a few boards, one side was creeping out of parallel, I simply used the thicker spacing to bring the boards in line with the house.
With two people and two gauges - any decking job will fly by.

Product worked as advertised. Just used it to build a ramp for a storage building. I am confident it will work well on deck builds or repairs.
Good tool! Should have bought 2 May 27, 2008

This is a very good tool to have doing the decking. I wish I had bought 2 of them since I had 2 crews putting decking on at the same time.
