Fixing decking without nails

[namtrak]

Has anyone used the little cleats that screw into the side of joists and are banged into the side of decking boards? This allows you to fix decking without screws/nails

There was a bloke on ABC Inventors who created something called Dektrac (http://www.abc.net.au/newinventors/txt/s1242476.htm). However there is already a little cleat on the market. I was just wondering how solid it is, does it move much, does it do its job?

Bump, Anyone?

I haven't yet rebuilt my deck. But that Dektrac system looks quite complicated. When/if I rebuild my deck, I'll very seriously consider "Tiger Claws." Seems a lot simpler.

Their shipping information (last line) indicates they export.

Namtrak,
see here:

really neat finish and if I was building a deck for myself I'd use them. If I was doing a job for a cleint I'd think twice because they're so labour intensive.

Thanks guys, have you heard how the decks have held up? Are they still solid?

Cheers
