Abstract
A fastener storage assembly comprises a container and a lid. The container has a bottom and two pairs of opposed sidewalls. The lid acts as a fastener alignment guide for locating a fastener to be driven through a deck board having a width w into a joist having an engagement edge face thickness t. The fastener alignment guide has a template and a pair of aligned substantially identical wings equidistantly spaced a distance w. The template defines a pair of aligned openings each having a center and a medial axis passing through each center. Each of the wings projects perpendicular to the template and defines a recess defined by a pair of parallel edges spaced a distance t. A plane through the medial axis and perpendicular to the template is equidistantly spaced the edges.
