Screws
Simpson Strong-Tie's Composi-Lok composite deck screws feature "wings" that create a channel for excess composite material, reducing upward pressure and preventing spin-out, the company says. The fastener also has a cap-style head that captures mushrooming material and keeps it out of sight. The screws come in gray, tan, red, and brown to match popular composite colors. A Quik Guard coating allows the screws to be used in certain types of preservative-treated wood. Price: $95–$105 per box of 2-1/2-inch screws. 800-999-5099. www.strongtie.com.
Eye Protection
 Full Pro
|
Unlike regular safety glasses that are uncomfortable to wear under earmuffs and headsets and that break the muffs' seal, SoundVision eye protection attaches to the outside of earmuffs with a Velcro-like strap, preserving the full protection of the muffs and improving comfort. The glasses are available in clear, amber, and smoke lens tints, are compatible with most popular brands of earmuffs and headsets, and meet ANSI's Z87.1+ high-impact safety rating. Price: $20. 888-873-8557. www.fullpro.com.
