What Customers Are Saying
The Blue Hawk Black Tapping Block is a useful tool for installing laminate flooring, but it has some durability issues. Many found the block to be fragile and prone to cracking or breaking, especially when used with a hard mallet or for larger projects. However, when used carefully with a rubber mallet, the block was effective at securing the flooring without damage. The tapping block may work well for small jobs, but may not be durable enough for professional or large-scale installations.

Would RecommendAbsolute necessity for getting those planks nice and tight and keeping everything waterproof. Holds up well to the mallet and sits up above the locking joint to ensure noi damage below. #stevensleavin

Works great until it breaks!
Would Not RecommendIt breaks before you finish the job. I bought 2 total and both broke. $ 20 wasted. We used a rubber mallet. I guess it is best for small jobs.

Great Tool for the Job
Would RecommendGreat tapping block for flooring. I used it to install Coretech flooring. I liked the smaller size so I could fit it in smaller spaces.

Need help with flooring? This tapping block is it
Would RecommendThis is my second tapping block and my second manufactured floor installation in the past 18 months. You absolutely need one of these to persuade stubborn flooring to fit together properly.
