Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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

    I basically made the tapping edge surface thinner thereby increasing the spacing between it and the surface that the tapping block is sliding on

    I started off using a wood block which was not real flat against the planks and made some indentations in the groove
