    What is the purpose of the hole in the wide angle pull bar?

    Answer This Question

    I'm assuming that the hole provides a method of hanging the piece of equipment on a rack or wall.

    I assume to hang it on a peg board for storage when not in use

      Can this be used with floating vinyl planks?

      Answer This Question

      Yes, but be careful that you don't damage the locking strip when using.

      By|Oct 24, 2023

        Yes, but you also need a special plastic block with groves cut in that match the vinyl planks so you don't chip the edges. Tap lightly, the vinyl planks MUST be at a 45 degree angle to slip into place.

          Yes, any flat surface object or product you need to pull together. it works. I really couldn't see the use for this tool to start with, but it has some neat and helpful uses.

          Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, although this tool is specific to laminate and wood installations,this pro pull bar product is useful during luxury vinyl plank flooring installations. (per flooring manufacturer's specifications)

            Yes, I used it a few months ago to put now floating vinyl and worked great.

              (1)

              Yes. I used it for my LVP and worked well. But it is heavy and must be careful using it to not damage the planks.

              By|Dec 26, 2018

                Yes very helpful

                By|Jan 29, 2019

                  Yes

                  By|Jan 29, 2019

                    Any pull bar can damage a plank's groove (or tongue) edge. This is not an issue if this is along a wall with no connecting planks. Otherwise, use a block of wood or cheater short planks to bang the joints together.

                    By|Sep 28, 2024

                      Yes, that's what I used it on.

                              Only before the glue dries... Otherwise great for floating floors that separate due to weather conditions.

                              By|Oct 24, 2023

                                I do not believe it is required for this type of flooring

                                By|May 3, 2023

                                  Hey there Mark, Your pull bar will be very handy not only for being able to get smaller end pieces tight along the walls, but also to help you properly lock your tongue and groove in on the end row as well, where space is more limited.

                                  I have used the bar for multiple type of flooring including laminate and engineering wood flooring. I use it to not only for pulling pieces together in tight space but in the open areas. The weight of this bar and it's shape allow me to tap lightly to move boards. That is particularly important in glue down situations.

                                    Yes, it is a must have (inexpensive) flooring tool, if you want to do the job right.

                                    By|May 4, 2023

                                      Yes. It pulls the seams tight especially if the boards are a little warped.

                                      By|May 3, 2023

                                        My only experience is with snap-together laminate (both planks and squares), but it was absolutely essential for pulling pieces tight when up against a wall. So if the tongues and grooves on the cork flooring are tight--so much so that finger strength alone won't suffice (if you even have room for your finger tips)--then this tool should do the trick. Think of it as a "remote hammer", redirecting the striking force. If the flooring can stand up to the "tapping" to seat the t&g tightly, this tool will make the awkward easy.

                                        By|May 3, 2023

                                          It depends on your flooring and how much force is required to assemble it. If you can snug the pieces together some other way, no. It works great for the SmartCore flooring I bought that does require some force to get it snap together. Otherwise, I would have had to use a pry-bar to push off the wall and probably marred the wall.

                                          By|May 4, 2023

                                          I would say yes to get tight joints I would recomend having the larger size on hand. BETTER to have on hand and not need rsthen NOT have and need in middle of instalation

                                            Great design and heavy duty
                                            Bought this tool to install an LVT project in the bathroom when I learned that the tiles had to be forced together lengthwise to get them to snap I purposely tried prying, but this tool made finishing the job much easier, especially when you got to the end of the run at the wall. It’s long enough to swing a hammer and also the fuzzy surface on the underneath side prevents tile damage I give this five stars.

                                                Nice heavy duty pull bar. BUT, the soft felt backing meant to protect floors from scratches is positioned incorrectly. It's too far away from the end of the bar. As a result, it doesn't lift the end of the bar off the floor. I added a pad at the end of the bar to prevent scratches.

Long Pro Pull Bar is the perfect tool for those last row (edges) when installing two different hardwood floors an a ceramic tile floor. It is the perfect size, and you never have to worry about the bar denting due to the strong piece it is. If this pull bar is to ever get misplaced, I will definitely head out to purchase another. Otherwise, it should be around a life time.

                                                  Has that extra length for leverage over the tool you may buy in a kit. That extra length can make a huge difference in your day and how your project looks at the end of it. Very useful for tightening the final few rows of flooring as you move into the wall. This tool seems indestructible and I will never have to buy another one. Well worth the investment for the minimal purchase price.

                                                  This is a very good tool. It is worth the cost for its specialized purpose of tapping laminate flooring over to lock with out damaging the end of the flooring material. Also the tool is long enough to reach under the toe kick of a run of cabinets to tap the flooring over to lock. I have done flooring quite a bit without a tool like this and have cobbled up tools to try to get the effect that this provides and I can say I should have gotten one of these sooner!!
