STARBORN Smart-Bit Depth Setter Tool (Adjustable)

Starborn Smart-Bit Depth Setter: Adjustable Deck Screw Tool with Auto-Stop™ 

Achieving consistent screw depth is essential for both the structural integrity and the aesthetic finish of your deck. The STARBORN Smart-Bit Depth Setter is an adjustable fastening tool that eliminates guesswork, ensuring every screw is driven to the exact same depth—whether flush or countersunk—every time.

Key Features & Precision Engineering

• Auto-Stop™ Mechanism
  The integrated Auto-Stop™ mechanism sets the screw to the correct depth without stripping the screw recess. Once the target depth is reached, the internal driver disengages, often making a distinctive "pop" sound to signal a perfect install.
• Adjustable Locking Ring
  Features an easy-to-use locking ring that allows you to customize the screw depth for different materials and applications. Once set, the ring secures the adjustment to ensure consistency across thousands of screws.
• Free Spinning Stop Collar
  The tool is equipped with a non-marring, free-spinning stop collar. When the collar contacts the board surface, it stops spinning while the drill bit continues to turn, protecting your decking from scratches, burns, or swirl marks.
• Universal Bit Compatibility
  Designed to work with standard 1" (25mm) driver bits, including Phillips and Torx (Star) drives. It is the perfect companion for fasteners like Cap-Tor xd and Deckfast Epoxy.

Versatility & Application

• Multi-Material Use
  Whether you are working with high-density hardwoods, softwoods, PVC, or composite decking, this tool adapts effortlessly to provide a flawless finish.
• General Construction Excellence
  While optimized for decking, the Depth Setter is equally effective for drywall installation and general construction where precision fastening is required.
• Enhanced Deck Durability
  By setting screws to the correct depth, you prevent board splitting and minimize moisture infiltration around the fastener, significantly extending the lifespan of your deck.

Pro-Tips for Installation

• Drill Compatibility
  Use with a standard drill. Do not use an impact driver, as the high-torque pulsing can interfere with the Auto-Stop™ mechanism. 
• Bit Replacement
  Simply loosen the set screw with the included hex wrench to swap in any standard 1" (25mm) driver bit.
• System Integration
  Optimized for use with professional fasteners to achieve professional-grade results on every project.
• Consistent Pressure
  For the best results, maintain steady, downward pressure and drill in a straight, stable fashion until the mechanism engages.
