Tools to get the job done

Share this project

With the right tools and equipment, your flooring installation project will go a lot smoother and finish faster. Always read the manufacturer tool recommendations when you are planning your project and make sure you have everything you need before you start. Below is a list of common tools that you’ll need for any wood flooring installation:

Utility knife
Pry bar
Chalk line
Carpenter’s square
Measuring tape
Hammer

Dust mask
Safety glasses
Tapping block
Jigsaw for intricate cuts
Rubber mallet

For laminate and vinyl plank straight cuts, you can go the low-tech route and use a laminate/vinyl floor cutter or go high-tech with a power mitre saw. Engineered and hardwood flooring will need a power mitre saw, a power nailer with compressor and ear protection. For a full list of tools and equipment for your upcoming flooring project, consult your local TIMBER MART Flooring Experts.
