Ratings & Reviews for Blue Hawk Flooring pull bar

400 square feet of flooring

I purchased to install LVF . The tool worked as advertised, but after using product the end that was being hit with rubber mallet began to flatten. I had to get a ball ping hammer several times to hammer back to original angle. Possibly a stronger gauge of metal material would help.

Worked great for my flooring project

This worked perfectly for my flooring project. I wouldn't have been able to complete it without this pull bar.

Found out I really needed this

I didn't think I would need this for my flooring project since I did another floor without one but this time I needed it. It worked perfectly and is the perfect size for the job.

Gotta hold on you

This bar has a thicker end than the other off brand I previously purchased.

OK FOR ONE TIME USE

I had to grind off the end to 1/4" off the end so it would slip between the drywall and flooring. Worked for what I needed it for BUT the steel does not hold up to hammering. After a few boards, the hammer end was bending. This could be beefed up to make it more durable.

Bad design and cheap metal

Find a better designed part at another store since Lowe’s doesn’t carry anything else. The pulling lip is taller than any floor material so it can never lay flat on the floor surface making the striking surface, that is too small, at an angle driving the tool end into your flooring. That is until it bends and stops working five minutes later. Had to wrap mine it tape to protect the floor.

Imperative but problematic

This tool is imperative, making installation of a click lock floor possible. But the metal in this tool is weak. I have purchased two, and both have bent in use in installing both relatively small floors.

Good Product

This is a required tool needed during installed some types of flooring.

Easy to use, it has a good weight to it. It also has 2 small pads on one side , so the surface you’re working on will be protected from scratches .

easy to bend...

Easy to bend if you happen to hit high on the edge of the pull bar with the hammer. Advise using a dead blow hammer not a steel hammer.

nice pull bar

now this works as it should , its real nice to have at the end of the floor , and sometimes at the beginning of the floor as well. i give this one 5 stars

Broke First Use

Used this to install last row of 2.25" oak flooring. Broke on my first use. Do not buy this. Need something much stronger for hardwoods.

Can scratch the floor surface

Rarely would I say something would be better if it was made of plastic, but this is the case here. More accurately it would have been better made of resin (or whatever material the floor tapping block is made from). This is fairly thin steel and the flange that you tap against with a hammer is not tall enough, but worse because the steel is not coated with a scratch resistant material the end that wraps around the floor panel can easily damage it. We ended up wrapping it in duck tape and then p...

Don’t waste your money

Purchased this to install laminate flooring. Bend after the 5th or 6th time I used it. Cheap!

junk

complete junk I was able to get half my floor done (300sqf) and I kept bending starting g about a quarter the way though it. junk buy another brand of better quality
