Simpson Strong-Tie, the leader in engineered structural connectors and building solutions, is expanding its Quik Drive® lineup of tools and fasteners with the addition of the Project Pro™ screw driving tool. Affordable and easy to install on nearly any cordless drill or driver, the Quik Drive Project Pro is an ideal screw driving tool that enables advanced DIYers to build or repair decks, fences, porches and flooring up to four times faster.
Though a lower-cost option, the Project Pro uses some of the same designs, patents and manufacturing channels as Quik Drive pro-grade solutions. The auto-feed technology drives screws repeatedly — just squeeze the trigger and apply pressure to drive — with no worry about fumbling or dropping screws.
“Like the other tools in the Quik Drive lineup, the Project Pro solution saves installers time and effort during repetitive fastening jobs,” states Brandon Ward, product manager for Simpson Strong-Tie. “Our innovative attachment system provides the speed and convenience of auto-feed fastening for a variety of projects without the larger investment of a full-service tool.”
Light in weight, the Project Pro installs on almost any driver motor the user may own without an adapter: Simply insert it into the drill/driver chuck, adjust and tighten the support arm, and tighten the battery strap. Once the unit is attached, the user can insert the collated fastener strip.
The Quik Drive Project Pro fastening tool is designed for use with 1 5/8" – 2 ½" Strong-Drive® WSV and Deck-Drive™ DSV Wood screws collated for Quik Drive systems. It includes an easily accessible depth-of-drive adjustment dial and comes with a battery strap and T-25 6-lobe bit.
