TruePower Professional Hardwood Flooring Jack and Positioning Tool - Easiest Way to Straighten and Install Hardwood Flooring Without Pry Bars and Crowbars

Works perfectly

Might not last forever, but it's good.

Worked perfect for pulling boards close to the wall, Beats having to use a prybar and hammer

This is the second set I purchased. The first one about five years ago. This tool makes installing the last pieces of hardwood so much easier. Because hardwood sometimes warps a little, it needs to be fastened back until it can be nailed/stapled.I purchased the second set not to replace the first one but to complement it. Because I prefer using long hardwood pieces for the first and last rows, installing them sometimes require two of this.You can install hardwood flooring without them, but their use simplifies the process.

Doing hard wood flooring in house.Makes live so much better when you get to the last board at the wall.Well worth the money & super fast shipping.

This Jack makes installing the last runs of a floor look amazing. Very happy with the product

I have used this a lot on my 1600sqft hardwood flooring project in my house. Very convenient when I start butting up against the wall. Can not see how one could do some of the boards without this affordable tool. I put some duct tape on the bottom to give a softer edge & face to ensure I do not scratch the board surfaces. Update: A small wire spring broke after 2yrs of usage--their customer service was great--they are sending a replacement for free and promptly. I really appreciate a company standing behind their product. And, a second comment--sometimes flooring boards are warped and one end needs to be pushed into place. I screw a board into the floor about 6" above the board I'm installing, then use this jack to push against that second board, pushing the flooring board into place. After done nailing, I unscrew the second board and am good. So, I can use this tool in the middle of the floor also, not just against the wall.

Wow, just get this! I bought this after reading another review about not having it and than buying it after installing something like 400 sq ft out of 800 sq ft.Truth is I also have about 800 sq ft of flooring to do and in the first room I started in the center (w/ a spline). I did the first half of the room without this tool. I bought this after reading said review before doing the second half of the room. The difference is night and day. The second half that I did has nice tighter seams near the walls. I still have 2 hallways and 2 rooms to complete but I am glad I bought this tool. I honestly wish I could redo the side of the room I did without this tool.Update 18-03-2018We finished another hallway. we still have 2 rooms and 1 hallway to complete. This tool is just AWESOME. Don't even TRY to install hardwood floor near walls w/o this tool.We are laying down 2-1/4" plank floors so 3rd row wall gets little to no face nails. 2nd row from wall gets face nails in dark grain ~12" apart and last row gets every 6" but we like to use a darker grain board to hide the face nails.This tool is a must for hardwood floors. Just buy it if you plan on installing your own floors.

Absolutely outstanding! Our bamboo floor seperates every winter because of low humidity and this tool made it a very easy and quick fix compared to what ive done in the past. Seems to be very well made and applies alot of force with ease. Just pop the shoe moulding off and cut a little hole if nessesary with a multi tool (making sure it’s underneath the top of the shoe moulding) slip this in and give it a few cranks and voila! Very impressive coming from a carpenter with 15 years experience.

The True Power Jack is tool that every flooring installer should have. I put felt pads on the bottom to protect the floor from any scratches. You could also just put it on top of a sheet of paper or cardboard to protect the floor. It very solid and is a very sturdy welded fabrication. If it is not abused, I am sure it is going to last a very long time. A great tool. I have been installing flooring for over 30 years and it is just what I need to replace the old pry bar.

I bought 2 of these because I am installing 3.25 inch wide oak floor boards, I am drilling and hand nailing instead of using a nailgun because I find most of the boards, some of which are 6 foot long are warped and I was using a chisel to pry them into place and they are rock hard and tough to pry. With two of these floor jacks braced against long lengths of 2x4 I can work all the way across the room, gradually shortening the 2x4. I am able to save my arm and prevent damage to the subfloor caused with the prying. I put a thin cut of flooring with the groove against my installed floor because the Jack can slip upward and damage the edge. This slippage is probably only happening because I am using it out in the middle of the floor with long lengths of 2x4. It has a powerful crank and locks securely, saved me a lot of physical effort!! I would give them a five star but for the slippage,I use my foot to hold it down while cranking, WELL worth the money, should have bought 4!

For anyone doing hardwood flooring, you need to own one of these tools, works great, thanks

Simoly brilliant.Absolutely well made and easy to useAnd its cheaper than most of the similar tools on the market.I love it.Could improve with one thing, maybe the teeth to be made smaller as to allow smaller clicks, coz you get sometimes where you wanna push the planks a bit but you end up between two clicks, either looser or harder.Other than that, its amazing and very recommended.
