My crew and I were installing a tongue & groove floor and the material was a bit bowed. So by luck I had my wrench in the truck and put it to work. It not only saved the day; but also made me realize what a good investment I made.

We offer two tools to assist in the straightening of bent or warped boards. The first is the Bowrench which can be a decent tool. It costs $55.00. The second <a href="http://www.hardwoodwrench.com" target="_blank">deck tool</a> is the Hardwood Wrench. This deck tool, in my opinion, is the better of the two due to its ability to apply significantly more force which in turn makes it much easier to move dense material such as Ipe or Tigerwood. The Hardwood Wrench is also made in the United States and is built with only highest grade materials such as aircraft grade aluminum. Also, the Hardwood Wrench will not slip on the joist as other, less sturdy deck tools do. The cost is $199.00. But as in all deck tools, you get what you pay for. I personally have had customers order multiple Bowrenchs as they often break through the thin aluminum walls. On the other hand, the Hardwood Wrench is a one time purchase and for some of our contractors has been a life saver. Needless to say, they have told us that when before it took multiple deck tools to get the job done, they were able to use the Hardwood Wrench on multiple job sites without a problem at all. Let me know if there is any other questions or concerns that I may be able to help you with. Thanks again for the question. Feel free to contact us anytime. Tammy,
