4.0 out of 5 stars decent entry level LVT/LVP toolset
This toolset is not bad for a beginner like me to use for putting down LVT. The rubber mallet feels great in your hand and works excellent to pop the floor into the joint.The metal pull bar works great but is a little on the thicker side if you're in a super tight spot it can be hard to fit but leaving a gap it works fantastic.The spacers are handy but i opted to not use them with my setup since I needed to adjust the floors course so it would be even on both sides of my room (OCD kicked in with this one haha) so I needed to have a 1.5" width on my course at both sides of the room to make it completely even with the room.My only slight complaint and I only am taking 1 star out of it because it might work better for thicker flooring than the 20mil flooring I installed, but the tapping block was impossible for me to use. I ended up just locking most courses in by hand or using a slight tap with a scrap piece on the end inside the tongue/groove and the rubber mallet to tap the course in and get it to lock in place. The tapping block is too light and lacks a handle to help you slide it on the tile. What I did get the tapping block to help with was to use a scrap piece of floor inside the groove and tap the block on the flat cut end of the flooring to tap it in.
5.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected, Poor reviews are due to inexperience
I purchased this for a 600 square foot, 1/2" thick engineered flooring installation in my home. For $22 my expectations for quality weren't that high. I'm originally from the electrical trades and rarely buy low quality tools. I've installed 3/4" hardwood flooring before but this was my first engineered flooring project. I figured for $22 bucks a lower quality kit will get me started and if it doesn't last, then lesson learned and I'll purchase a better one if needed. I have to say the quality exceeded my expectations. The pull bar is heavy gauge and has felt pads so it doesn't scratch the floor as you use it. I also was expecting a fisher-price type hammer but the hammer is a decent quality FOR WHAT IT'S DESIGNED TO DO. The spacers (actually shims) came in handy as well. Those complaining that they are shims as opposed to spacers do not understand the intent. Walls are often not perfectly plumb, so you sometimes do not want equal-sized spacers against the wall - you want variable sized shims to put pressure on the first course to keep it straight, based on the assumption you snapped a square line for the first course. If you use equal sized spacers, the first course will now be aligned with the more than likely out of plumb wall, making the remaining rows out of square. Inexperienced users should not leave reviews. Keep in mind....the pull bar, hammer and tapping block are not meant to endure heavy blows - they're meant to "tap" pieces and ensure a snug fit. Realistically, you use a little more force than tapping, but you're doing something wrong if you need to whale on the hammer, block or pull bar. That means you're forcing pieces to fit together, indicating something is wrong with your installation. I can only imagine those that said the bar bent or the tapping block or hammer fell apart are subjecting them to forces they're not designed for and that shouldn't be needed if you're installing the floor correctly. Anyone busting these tools is clearly not using them properly. So that being said....I wouldn't buy this for professional use and I'd recommend it ONLY for installing laminates, vinyl and engineered flooring - NOT for 3/4" hardwood flooring - you'd need a heavier-duty set for that. But for a few DIY laminate/engineered wood floor projects, I think it's a good buy. This kit will be around for my next engineered flooring job upstairs. Update Jan 2021: I just completed another engineered flooring project upstairs (720 sq ft) using the same kit. It's still good enough to keep, even though my flooring is all done. See the pictures of the tools AFTER installing over 1300 square feet of engineered hardwood flooring. I seriously don't know what people are doing to break them. Obviously inexperienced at installing floors.NOTE: I purchased this item on Bolo for full price and have no affiliation to the seller. I try to write helpful, unbiased and insightful reviews because I also read reviews prior to making my own buying decisions. I notice many reviews lack helpful information, are not well written or give poor reviews based on not reading directions, inexperience or failing to read the product details prior to purchasing. Writing valuable reviews helps pay it forward.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Toolset for installing flooring
Product was shipped overnight for a job needed the next day. the tools are amazing and make the job so easy to fit the flooring together!
5.0 out of 5 stars Works!
Installed the LVP in one room using these tools. Works great.
3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good kit
This was a pretty good kit, for the price, I just wish I had known to look for an all-rubber, or VERY thick rubber-edged tile tapper. Using the plastic/vinyl tile tapper in this kit damaged two of my floor planks before I gave up on it. Still a great kit!
5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST NEED
How amazing this package works while installing flooring gets and not damaging the ends which must snap together!
