What Customers Are Saying
The floor spacers are generally useful for maintaining consistent spacing during flooring installation, especially for laminate, vinyl plank, and hardwood floors. Many customers found the spacers easy to use and helpful in ensuring an even, professional-looking result. However, some reviewers noted issues with the spacers staying in place, particularly if the drywall did not go all the way to the floor. A few customers also felt the spacers were not as sturdy or well-designed as they would have liked. Overall, the spacers seem to work well for most users, but may require some additional effort or modifications to keep them securely in place during installation.

Decent but Not the Best
Worked well when the wall was flat down to the subfloor. Ran into issues with the gap between the dry wall and foundation which would cause the spacer to collapse and not maintain the gap between wall and plank flooring. I ended up purchasing the 1/4" to 1/2" t-spacers that made it way easier to hold the gap especially when starting the first couple rows of flooring.

You pay for what you get
Use only if you’re not planning to support large gaps. These are worthless when you put them in a pair for such

Hard to use
To get these to be 3/8 inch for laminate flooring you have to use 2 pieces and then tape them together to hold while you install the flooring.
