Flooring Installer .com

Let's talk flooring!

http://www.strapclamps.net/ has a couple nicely priced tools there. The owner Howard is a experienced hardwood installer outa NV and a great guy as well.

 

I can't wait to try out his stuff. Especially his Board Bully, something I attempted to make out of a tapping block which didn't hold up to the constant beating I give it all the time.

 

Howard also gives out superb advice to DIY'rs and proffesionals alike over at Ken Fisher's site http://www.hardwoodflooringtalk.com/forum

The shipment is in.

OMG these strap clamps are awesome. They have like a four inch clamp on them that wraps all around the edge of the wood with a ratcheting mechanism. For fourteen bucks and some change I was not expecting much. Lord the price I was paying for those Crain was was crazy. These mucho better.

And his Board Bully looks like it could pull in a horse or least some really wide stuff and take a good beating. Howards pictures do not do it justice I tell ya. And it makes the Torly's look like a toy.

I give it all a two thumbs up (cus thats all I gots is two)
Stephen, Thanks for the great post !

This looks like an awesome site.
Yes, pretty proud of these two products. I've been using these particular Strap Clamps on all my gluedowns for about 4 years now.

The Board Bully IS really heavy duty, and just a pleasure to use. Just got back from doing a repair with it...It was amaizing.

I promise I'm not here to spam you guys, but dont hesitate to email any questions on the products. I look forward to contributing to the Forum.

( I figured my best bet "for my picture" is my buddy, you probably all would agree !
Not to worry about spamming here Howard. If someone likes a product they buy anyone is at liberty to announce it. And I did. Glad you made it here.
Out of curiosity: Do you guys buy tools from online sites?

what is your favorite? or which one do you think is the best?
I often buy tools on Amazon because of their warranty period and great prices. But it's not just the price and 30 day no questions asked warranty. I buy tools there that I cannot find here. You would be amazed that the tools our supplers will not carry or stock. Heck, if I can simply order from Amazon cheaper and faster why should I wait three weeks for those guys?
good point. does amazon have all the stuff you need? What is the most common repeat purchase?
