Tools and Hardware Reviews of Cepco Tool 100-EBTYS Eb Ty Original kit, 100-Piece
Customer Review: A bad idea
Summary: 2 Stars
I had to tear out a deck I had installed with these. The problem is while they space the decking nicely, they also keep it from expanding at all. The 10 x 12 deck I made with Bulletwood (a tropical hardwood being sold as decking in my area) expanded so much it pulled the joists right out of their hangers! I would check out the "Tigerclaw", a fastener that drives in with a hammer and doesn't fill the gap between deck boards.Customer Review: EB-TY hidden fastener system, April 2005

This system is great-I would just advise buyers to check with the manufacturer's website www.ebty.com before buying this package. The reason is the depending on the size and composition of the deck, you may need another size EB-TY than the one offered in this package. There are about 6 different sizes, each for a different purpose. So educate yourself before you buy this particular package. Happy deck building!!Customer Review: EB-TY Fasteners Review

Once we got the biscuit cutter properly calibrated, the installation of the hidden fasteners went very smooth. Instructions were clear and give some helpful tips.
The screws are bright stainless steel. It would be an improvement to have them black so that they blend in with the black biscuit.
The box should indicate that you need a square drive bit for the screws.

First time I've used the product. It took a little while to get a system down, but it is still a very time consuming procedure. The end result is worth it, though. Using 1x4 mahogany decking and it looks great without screws or nails on the surface. Would highly suggest that you get at least one other person to help with the install, it would make it go a lot quicker.Customer Review: Review of EB-TY Hidden Deck Fasteners

The finished results is just what I wanted. The installation process is tidius. It more than doubles your time to install. But I was installing a very hard wood (Brazilian Redwood). The only complaint I have is every box of clips only contained 90 screws instead of the 100.
I bought 800 units and came up short 80 screws.
