Laminate and parquet board installation clamp — a tool for pulling the board snug against the wall

The laminate installation clamp solves one specific problem of flooring installation: when there is a narrow space left by the wall at the end of a row of boards, where a standard pressing block physically cannot fit, the clamp hooks onto the edge of the board and allows you to pull it snug against the neighboring one without direct access of a hammer to the locking joint itself. Without this tool, the last board in the row is often either left with a noticeable gap or attempts are made to tap it in with a hammer through a wooden spacer block — less accurately and with the risk of damaging the lock. The tool is metal, with a working hook on one side and a striking surface for the hammer on the other — the design is simple but solves a problem that cannot be conveniently addressed in the tight space by the wall. It is used in conjunction with a pressing block and wedges for the technological gap: the block works along the entire length of the row, while the clamp connects precisely where the block lacks space to maneuver. Frequently asked questions. Can you do without the clamp, using only the block? For most of the row — yes, but the last few centimeters by the wall are physically not covered by the block, and without the clamp, you have to improvise with less reliable methods. Is the clamp suitable for all types of laminate and parquet boards? The hook is designed for the standard thickness of the locking joint, common in most modern flooring. A small, inexpensive tool that is worth having in the set alongside the pressing block and wedges if you plan to lay the floor yourself.
