A device for fastening first and second structural members, typically decking joists and planks has a generally planar base plate with first and second ends and a thickness. A first vertical tab is integral with, and bent upwardly along a first bend line from an interior portion of the base plate. The bend occurs in a first direction to form a first interior angle between the first vertical tab and the second end of the base plate. A first fastener-receiving hole is positioned in the first vertical tab. A second fastener- receiving hole is positioned in the base plate between the first bend line and the second end. The first interior angle is in the range of about 85 to 90° along the first bend line. The base plate is generally trapezoidal, with a width that decreases from the first end to the second end. |
