Okay
As another person said they started off great. Other than it can be difficult getting it set just right where it’s not to tight and it’s not hard to get on and off. After about 3-4000 feet of installation the teflon pad is wearing out. I personally don’t tape them a lot due to most products telling you not to use a tapping block and hammer.

Super Time Saver for DIYers and Pros
This is a fantasitc tool. It saves the locking system of the LVP plank from damage and makes locking plan in place a breeze. I'm a first time DIYer and after struggling with the poor quality tapping blocks and mfg kit tools, I found this to be extreamly helpful. I can usually sit a plank by holding it in the center with the tapper, giggling the plank a little and with a light tap, it seats and locks in place. I would suggest adding lock washers under the knobs, that do loosen over time (after 10-15 planks) and the shims fall out. but they are easy to reset, the lock washers should reduce the problem.

Excellent product
Tried the product and became a believer, makes installation faster and more efficient. Getting used to proper shims for different product is a breeze. This tool allows the installer to hold an angle while tapping and I've used the handle to tap when close to walls (wouldn't recommend) and the construction holds very strong.

Come out of the stone age of tapping blocks!
These tapping blocks are great. Speeds up installation time and doesn't damage the edge. I've already installed a few thousand feet with them and they hold up excellent.

Easily worth the money
Bought one last week to see if I liked it. Bought a second a few days ago. Make vinyl plank installation so easy. Easy to hold plank at correct angle, slide block down, tap again. Only reason I gave 4 stars on quality is that I don’t keep extra shims on the block because they seem to fall off after tapping.
