Gaps in your floor?

Close the gap. Skip the tear-out.

Floating laminate and vinyl planks creep apart as the house heats and cools. Instead of pulling up a row, lock this cup onto the plank and tap it back into place.

The large suction cup from underneath

How it works

Suction grabs. The hammer pushes.

Press the big cup flat on the plank and flip the lever: it pulls the air out and locks the tool to the surface. Now the red steel block is part of the plank. Tap it with a hammer toward the gap and the plank slides along the floor until the joint closes.

  • Locks with one lever

    Press the cup flat, flip the lever, and it holds on.

  • Tap, don't pry

    You push the plank back along the floor. Nothing goes into the joint, so the edges are left alone.

  • Lift the lever to release

    Flip it back and the cup lets go, ready for the next plank.

The cup needs a clean, smooth surface. Deeply textured or embossed planks may not hold.

How to use it

Wipe, lock, tap, release.

Repair the floor without damaging the surface
  1. Wipe the spot

    Clean the plank where the cup will sit. Dust and grit stop the suction from holding.

  2. Press and lock

    Set the cup flat on the plank that moved, close to the gap, and flip the lever to lock it.

  3. Tap toward the gap

    Tap the red block with a hammer or mallet in the direction the plank needs to go. Check, and tap again until the joint closes.

  4. Release

    Flip the lever back to break the suction and lift the tool off.

Several light taps work better than one hard blow. If the gap keeps coming back, check that the floor still has room to expand at the walls.
