Great and necessary toold for the job
Would RecommendPlease see my comments on the corresponding tool kit as well as the hammer. Simply said, you do not want to install interlocking floor tiles without this hammer. It makes all the difference in the world when you want tight joints and seamless seams. Good buy.

Much Better Than a Rubber Mallet
Would RecommendIf you use an ordinary $5 rubber mallet to tap flooring planks together, unless you hit them just right, 50% of the time the bounce in the rubber mallet head will spring the planks slightly apart again. A proper bead-blow mallet will make you an instant expert and you will get the job done much faster. This is not a durable tool however, so if you plan to do more than one floor or use it for automotive work, invest in a better quality replaceable-head dead-blow hammer.
