Pros & Cons
Pros
The handle makes it easier to not whack your fingers/knuckles as well. Used with a rubber mallet. I love how it had a lip to get over the locking portion of the board so you didn't damage it.
This tool is necessary when installing vinyl flooring. After 300 sq ft…it’s still in good shape. Used this to lay about 800 square feet of lvt.
Cons
This one it's too hard to tell if you're on the bottom or middle gap of laminate, leading to chipping the laminate or extra time lining up. The knob on top is useless and puts your hand in a spot where you will absolutely crush it with your mallet.

The knob handle is good for keeping your fingers out of the way of your hammer
The extra long block was nice but not sure it was necessary given that this block has a handle on it to keep your hands out of the way
Competitiveness
I used this for installing home depot lifeproof lvp
The plastic does get beat up quickly but thats to be expected for the price
