Author Hidden Deck Fasteners

I am building a cedar deck which will be about a foot and a half off
the ground (hard to work underneath). I have been debating using
hidden deck fasteners instead of screws and wondering if anyone had
suggestions. I have been looking at the Tiger Claws and thinking
that they might be better to use considering that I can't really get
under the deck. Deckmaster looks pretty good as well. EB-TY looks
like to much of a pain to use and too many steps to go through for each

piece. Another thing about the Tiger Claw is that is spaces the boards

for you as compared to the Deckmaster.

Does anyone have any suggestions, comments or evalutions of the
products I mentioned above. I am also worried about the boards
shrinking and the fasteners coming loose. How well do these products
work with boards with a slight warp to them?


Thanks

Hidden deck...what will they come up with next? Must be some kind of
cloaking device.
