Squeaky Hardwood Floor Repair Kit - Squeeek No More - Works on Hardwood and Vinyl Floor and Stairs

Very useful. The screw cut off just below the surface, I'm so glad I found this product. I highly recommend it!

This product is fantastic! I have 8" wide floors and the house is very old. There is visible bowing in some of the boards. The squeaking was absolutely horrible and it was worst in the highest traffic areas of the house. I thought this product might help with the squeaking but I never dreamed it would essentially eliminate it. If you are the slightest bit handy then you can do this yourself. The other reviews that mention the screw not shearing off completely are accurate. I agree that you need to use a smaller drill bit. I was using a cordless drill and found that if I left it on "drill" to screw in the screws that they sheared off easily. The squeaks in my floor were between the hardwood flooring and the subfloor. If your squeaks are between the subfloor and the joists then I'm not sure it will work for you. The screws will not be long enough to go through wood floor, subfloor, and into the joist. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with an old house with squeaky floors.

The Squeeeek-no-more meoduct works as designed and is a much cleaner fix than conventional nails or screws. Alas, they were not enough to save my hardwood floors, so I ended up installing laminate. I recommend this product to anyone who has a squeeky floor worth saving; however, there are a couple of areas that could be improved. The first is the diameter of the upper shank once the screws are in and snapped, the shank remains snugly stuck in the newly tapped hole. It is not as easy to remove as simply pulling up on the guide, a narrower shank and/or a built inpry lever would make the task of removing the head portion easier.

These didn't really do the job for my old squeaky floorboards in terms of silencing and only lessened the creak at best. The instructions were easy but unfortunately the screws would frequently fail to snap off if I hit a bit tougher wood underneath rendering it useless

This product woked WAY better than I thought it would. I have hardwood floors in my kitchen that are directly above my sons bedroom. The squeaks were driving him crazy. I installed these by first putting blue painters tape on the floor and using my stud finder to find the joists below. I marked the joists on the blue tape with a pen. I then drilled the pilot hole. Before drilling in the screw, I stood on each side of the drill hole to ensure my body weight pressed the floor all the way down.I then used wood putty to fill in the small holes after the screws were inserted. I was really worried about drilling holes in my hardwood floor, but honestly you cannot even tell unless you get on your hands and knees and look real close. Here are some tips that helped me:1. Measure your pilot hole drill bit with a tape measure to ensure it extends out 2 1/4 inches from the drill. Use the black adapter when drilling pilot holes.2. Use blue painters tape to mark joist position.3. Stand on either side of hole when driving in screws.4. Be patient when trying to remove snapped-off screw head from floor (even when snapped off, the screw head has a small burr at the end that makes it hard to pull out of the floor.5. I only had to use 8 screws to fix my squeaks, but it was still a pain to alternate between the drill bit and screw drive every time. If you have a lot of screws to use, borrow a second drill from a friend.....you will be glad you did!6. Double and triple check your joist position with the stud finder. I have a "deep scan" setting on my stud finder and it worked just fine.7. Make sure that you get the kit specifically designed for hardwood floors if you are using it for hardwood floors.

Very excited for this product because of old house with old wood floor. Screws do not snap off when reaching the surface of the guide. Tried two different drills and eventually got one to snap off with several hammer blows. Floor in worse shape than before.

This product is amazing! My house has a 115-year-old staircase whose squeaks are loud enough to wake the dead. I was researching options online, and even contemplating ripping all the basement drywall off to get at the stairs from underneath, when I found this product. While it is designed for floors (I think) it works just as well for stairs. The key is to get the nails into the stringers (the wood that supports the entire staircase). For each step, I put one nail in each side of the stringer, and then also one nail into the riser on the front of the stair in the center of the step. This worked really well, and solved 90-95% of the stair's squeaks! It's an old staircase so it won't ever be perfectly silent, but it's a HUGE improvement. I did end up with two nails that didn't get far enough in before they broke, and that was a bit of a hassle to fix, but since it stopped my stairs from squeaking, I'm not too upset. I used a Dremel cutting bit to remove the excess screw from the stairs and then puttied over the hole. The screws are pretty neat in how they work and I was impressed at how small the hole left behind was (see photo)! You can see the puttied holes from the nail holes, but my stairs are far from perfect already given their age, so it's fine with me. If you put more effort than I did into finding an exact stain color match, I bet you could just about completely hide all evidence of the nail holes.Suggestions:-Use a smaller bit than 1/8" - I used the next size down-Use the "soft wood" method - this gives you more control over when the screw breaks so you have less chance of it breaking early and ending up with the nail sticking out of the floor-When you pre-drill the pilot hole, make sure you are actually drilling into the stringer/joist. If you aren't, then the screw isn't going to do anything to fix the squeaks. It needs to grab onto the stringer/joist in order to tighten the floor. I could actually hear my staircase "creaking" as the screw did its work tightening everything up.-You'll need wood putty and a stain/paint color to touch up the floor with after

Used about 10 screws. 2 broke off above the surface of my hardwood flooring. PITA to fix. You might want to use a slightly bigger drill bit than recommended. Aside from that seems to resolve my squeaking issues and a good idea overall.

I did not receive the replacement pack . I was expecting an extra box of 50 screws that I did not receive.

It did not work out for me
