Mantis® Clips are the newest generation of hidden deck fasteners that provide superior holding power, are the easiest hidden deck fastener to install in grooved decking and carry an unmatched 30 year warranty against loose deck boards.
The key ingredients to Mantis® success are:
- The best performing clips on the market - Mantis® clips have been extensively tested and offer superior lateral movement strength and uplift when compared to other grooved decking hidden fasteners on the market. When comparing Mantis® to the Tiger Claw™ and Conceal‐Loc™ in independent laboratory testing, the Mantis® tested at 391 foot pounds to the first movement versus the competitor’s fastener that averaged 274 foot pounds. These tests prove that Mantis® can deliver 42.7% greater lateral movement resistance. In regions with wide daily temperature swings this extra holding power keeps decks from “walking” and loosening. This keeps the connection of the fastener to the deck board stronger and longer lasting.
- Ease of installation – Our revolutionary Eliminator RCS™ pneumatic installation tool can help you install the fasteners up to 80% quicker than conventional methods while providing the same holding power as our standard hand drive screws. The EZ‐Slide attachment makes it quick and easy to install Mantis® clips in just about any environment. Simply drop the Mantis®clip into the slide attachment, push forward to engage the Mantis® tab into the groove and pull the trigger.
