Pros & Cons
Pros
Between this and the spacer * to keep 1/4 spacing between the boards, our new decking looks fantastic! I also suggest you have pilot holes already drilled in the warped board to make it easier to drive the deck screws in.
This is far better than the boxed hollow steel ones advertised. There are better ones out on the market, with heftier prices, but this one suffices for the short-term use.
Worth every penny. Works great. Can't live without it. Flew with it. It flew faster.
My nickname for this is the persuader. Whatever you want to call it, it gets the job done! Definitely recommend this tool.
Cons
The pivot point is so weak any decent amount of pressure bends the metal. Some boards got damaged by the sharp corners of this tool.
Highlights
Quality
Works well with 2x6 decking and very durable.
This tool enabled me to get good results when installing 16' deck boards.
This tool is a must have for the poor quality big box store deck boards that are never straight.
As you know the pressure treated decking is not straight by any means!
Price
No need to spend top dollar for a board bender.
Well worth the money easy to use.
For the price, it was a good deal.
For the price don't build a deck without a board straightener.
Packaging/appearance
Came w/o any instructions, just in a plain box.
Looks like it was used before i got.
Competitiveness
This is far better than the boxed "hollow" steel ones advertised.
There is a couple like it on the market but none that work like the stanley.
There are better ones out on the market, with heftier prices, but this one suffices for the short-term use.
Here in florida, the most economical and commonly used decking is pressure treated pine, which has an affinity for twisting and warping.

The problem with most of the beam tweakers i have tried so far is they are not sufficiently strong or long enough

Used it for a trex deck and i couldnt believe the ease and difference this made in not just getting rid of warps on my board but also in creating consistent gaps for my deck
