 Works as advertised March 20, 2008

This product works as advertised. The only minor problem I had was with finding the studs (but that is more of a user/home error than a product error).
Also, they should really give you fair warning that if used more than 3 times in a row to find a stud, the stud finder will heat up (extremely hot). Mine got so hot on the fourth try that the tip melted off into the stud. This was not that big of an issue because my kit came with two stud finders.
For the remainder of usage, I used a water cup to cool the stud finder in-between guesses.
The last tip I have is to not break the screws off until the squeak has been silenced. If you screw the screw into the floor and the squeak is still there, back the screw back out of the wood and try again (the screws hold up to this abuse until you purposely break them).
Good luck everyone, I also purchased the 250 screw kit so that my parents could also silence their squeaks.

What an ingenious tool! The hardest part of the job was to locate the floor joist. Once we found it, things went very quickly. Our white pile carpet shows no signs of disturbance, and the very annoying squeak is completely gone. We discovered that, if you do miss the joist, the screw can very easily be removed and relocated. We wish we had found this unique tool 7 years ago.

I was a doubting Thomas, but I purchased the Sqeeeeek No More kit and gave it a shot. The product did exactly what it was supposed to. It tightened the plywood floor to the joists below and stopped the squeak. The screws broke off exactly where they were supposed to and disappeared below the rug without leaving a sharp point sticking up to be stepped on. Depending on the area that needs to be silenced, you will probably have to use multiple screws. I used as many as five screws in a two foot area. The only problem I had was not with the screws or the tool itself, it was locating the first joist in the room... it took several attempts, but that's expected if you have no idea where the first one is. You'll need a power drill (or battery operated) for this project. Bottom line: I don't know how the product could be better, unless of course it included more screws and a spare joist locator screw.
Awesome kit!!! November 19, 2008

This product really does its job if you use it right, I love it!! It fixed my squeaky floor. Just follow the instruction, know your floor layout, locate the zones of squeak and put some screws with the kit and ... BINGO!! In some places I have to put some screws in an angle, in that case I did not use the tripod but I took care of making sure to insert the screw at the right deep to break off the head. TIP: I use a magnet to locate the nail or screws under my carpet, then I marked them with blue tape (painter tape) to locate my joist, it was really nice and fun!!. I really recommend the kit.
squeek gone March 5, 2008

with a little patience, and a realization that the screws will not be installed where your foot makes the floor squeek, this product works well.
