Much better than the one suggested for 5/8 flooring

I have put down thousands of feet of 5/8 bamboo. I purchased the only stapler available at the time rated for the bamboo requirements. It worked but created way more work than neccessary. I was constantly pulling bent staples or counter sinking others. It was just not suitable for this work. The new Freeman nailer is not recommended for 5/8 bamboo but worked like a dream. I had to shim the sole plate because neither of the supplied ones were for 5/8 depth. I still have to use the old one in places that the new won't fit, but I would rather use the Freeman if possible.

Excellent product. I tend not to think too much about 'basic' products like this, but sometimes 'basic' products stand out when compared to ones you've purchased before. My wife and I have mostly hardwood floors so we have bought many grip pads in the past. Most tear or rip, can't be cleaned very well and really don't hold the rug in place. This product is beefier, has much greater tensile strength and so far is winning the battle with the kids and dogs. Holding the rugs where we put them. Also, while it is hard to tear, it was easy to trim and customize. Again, excellent product. Will definitely buy again as we replace the other grip pads.

Good stuff.  It is easy to install, can be cut with a sharp, sturdy scissors or utility knife.  Plenty of edge pieces for straight sections.  This is not hard flooring, it is very soft foam floor.  We installed over concrete with just a think foam underlayment to act as a barrier. Heavier items placed on the floor will sink in a little and leave marks.  There is also some sort of coating, residue that will get on your feet and make other surfaces your walk on slippery.  Not sure if that will dissipate over time or not. Not really a complaint, just an fyi for others looking at this. We have been able to work out on the floor without worry of any pieces coming loose from one another. Very happy so far.

This worked better than I expected given that the price was lower than equivalent products from other sellers. I used this on both laminate wood and tile and it stayed equally well on both. The way I tested it was to do the "running man" dance on each rug - which is super risky because I could land on my face if the rug moved - but thankfully they stayed put!

Just a note - I purchased the 4x6 size and cut it up to use on several rugs. The 4x6 was easily large enough to cover one 3x5 rug and THREE separate 17x24 inch bath mats. It was much more cost effective (and eco friendly) this way.

This worked well for our stairs to prevent slipping.  I was able to curve it during installation to line up with the curve of the stairs and was very happy with the final results.  Another review recommended using a guide to trim the ends into a half circle for aesthetics.  This was a great suggestion and I'm glad I did the extra work, makes the tread look more like a professional installation job.  One issue is some white marks in areas where I was still learning how to install - it's not horrible but doesn't look as good.  I think I placed a piece and then tried to move it causing the adhesive or plastic to take on a white color.

First, I'll say I love the pad.  We have Saltillo tile floors, which are a little uneven and have a delicate finish on them, and some soft mats (I've read) leave marks on the floors which must be sanded down and refinished.  This pad is rubber on the bottom, which keeps it from slipping.  Also, the top of the pad nicely covers and holds my Southwest rugs down.  It acts like tiny sticky grippers, and has a bit of a nubby texture on it - great for gripping the rug.  It is also a nice thickness.  You can feel the pad, but you don't feel like you're walking on a mattress. I plan on getting more for all my other Southwest rugs.

What I'm mad about is that it claims to "custom cut" the rug, if you put the size you need it cut down to in the gift options space during checkout.  NOPE!  It came full size, and I'll have to get a utility knife and do it myself.  So, yes, it's a great rug, but don't expect the custom cut job; they LIE!!!

I was removing some old bathroom floor tiles and the grout was extremely hard.  My first attempt was with a hand grout removal tool.  No luck there, I would dull a blade after removing less than 6 inches of grout.  My second thought was my Dremel.  Gave this bit about 10 minutes of use before I gave up.  It removed less than an inch.  Only reason I did not drop it to 1 star is that it may be fine for softer grout or wall tiles.  Just know it is not appropriate for hard floor tile grout.

FYI, a 4.5-inch angle grinder (~$40) with a diamond blade (~$8-9) cut through the hard grout like butter.  It was a bit more of an investment, but it was well worth it.  Make sure you have dust masks and eye protection.  The grinder kicks up a ton of grout dust.

I've had these on my recliner for about a week now, and they've made a big difference over the felt pads I'd had before to protect my hardwoods.  It doesn't slide across the floor every time I sit down now, which is a big improvement, but it's not stuck to the floor, either. With a little extra force, it'll slide, just not when I don't want it to.  I'll likely end up with more of these for the rest of my furniture!

When I bought my house, I was worried about cleaning the hardwood floor. I can't afford a cleaning professional, so I ended up being careful not to make the floor dirty, e.g., no outside shoes on the floor. Still, after a couple of years of living here, the floor has developed a few dirty spots from dried milk, dead cockroaches, spilled beans, etc.

For a lazy person like myself, this Bissell hardwood vacuum and steam mop machine is a godsend. According to Bissell, this is the only machine that can vacuum and steam-mop at the same time. It has three modes: vacuum only, steam-mop only and both. In the steam modes, you can set it to high steam or low steam (the latter for hardwood floors). All it takes is some tap water. It just can't get simpler than that.

Well, the first time I used it, it did seem a little difficult to operate, in terms of getting it across the floor and actually covering the areas I wanted it to cover. In other words, it took a little getting used to, with steam coming out of the bottom. I did two passes the first time. Afterwards, the floor did feel and look a little cleaner.

The Symphony uses a fiber cloth pad which can be easily removed and washed. I'm lazy so I haven't done that yet, but it's good to know it's not one of those use-once-and-throw-away mop pads: good for my wallet, good for the environment. The mop pads, once cleaned, are easy to put back on thanks to an ingenious releaseable pad holder. One area Bissell can improve is the stream trigger has little tactile feedback, which makes it hard to tell if it's pressed or not, especially at night.

This is a high-quality floor mop and vacuum I can recommend to my friends.

I spent a lot of time trying to determine which of the many pads out there would work best with my medium pile carpet and 6 ft wide executive desk and I decided to try this mid-range 45" x 53" pad. There were mixed reviews but I have found this pad to work well in my environment. The pad is not so stiff as to crack when you move in your chair and not so soft as to cup your chair rollers and make it difficult to move around.  The color is very clear and translucent so you get a hint of the carpet color underneath the pad.  I've only used this for about a week and there's no issues with cracks or divots but I'll update if the pad doesn't hold up well.

I got this mat to set below some stairs in a dark garage in case an elderly lady might fall.  I'm very impressed with the product - it's about 3/4" thick and soft, yet the surface doesn't retain footprints, and the edges are beveled so as not to present a further trip-hazard.  This is an ideal product for the application!

I love this. I used it on old an fashioned linoleum floor at our beach house that gets really dirty because the finish has been ground down over the years with sand etc.  There were still some spots I had to get down and scrub with a scrub brush , but I was surprised how well it worked if you just push and pull it slowly in 2 directions and don't spew out too much water by constantly holding the lever down. Pulling up the dirty water as you go is fantastic. And I couldn't believe how dirty it was. I then used it on the rest of the house which has old hardwood floors with an oil soap and they have never been cleaner. I have to say this model a bit heavy. I got it after reading reviews that the old model worked better . I don't know , but I do wish it was lighter as I have to bring it up and down stairs. However it is still totally worth it.

I have a coffee table with small, metal claw feet and it has been near impossible to find floor protectors that work with them. I don't like the stick-on ones because all they do is collect dust and dirt and they don't stay on all that well anyway. The local Fred Meyer had a wide selection of "chair tips" which were similar to these but all rubber, and while they protected the floor, they added tons of friction, making the table feel like it weighed a ton when I tried to move it.

These were the holy grail: non-stick, big enough to fit my table's weird claw feet, soft enough to let the claw feet deform them slightly, and with a low-friction bottom.

Yes, I'm yet another person who got a discounted sample to review but hear me out because I actually needed these pads. We just refinished the wood floors in our house and the last thing I wanted was deep scratches on all that expense work. The biggest concern I have and most people have with these type of pads is do they stick? Unless you get something with 3M on it, it can basically be a crapshoot on whether or not it will stick over time. My experience with these is they do seem to stick very well. I tried to pull one off after not centering it as well as I wanted on a chair leg and it gave me more fight than I expected. I had to use a razor to get it back off. Based on that alone it is going to get a good review from me.

However, my one concern was the thickness. These are about the thickness of a nickel, which is thinner than others I have gotten in the past. The material does seem more dense than any I've purchased before so maybe they will stay the same thickness while others have seemed to compress more with time. The nice thing about the thickness is they add very little height to the furniture.

There is no noise when moving furniture across floors after applying the pads. Chair slides easier over our hardwood floor after application. This is not what you want if you are looking to prevent a piece of furniture from moving or slipping, but works well if your goal is less friction and no scratching.

There is good variety in the total of 104 pieces.  You can cut to size with a good pair of scissors, which is another point where the thinner design was helpful. The backs are easy to remove and they were easy to separate from each other. Im going to dock one star for the thickness but overall I trust these to protect our very expensive floors.

Much better than the ones that are not as thick. I hated exercises on the floor before I got this. Now I work out on it in class twice a week. Totally makes a difference. Easy to clean too.

Good stuff. Better than big box store floor protector products.

I've been using a wonderful Miele vacuum for a few years. The head that came with it is designed for carpet and hard floors, but I wanted one that was not powered and would perform better in a house filled with hardwood floors. I initially bought an off-brand floor attachment and it was okay. The brushes on the bottom started folding under, and I didn't think it allowed enough air and dust to enter. I decided to buy the extra large authentic floor attachment and I feel that it performs much better! It snaps on and off easily, it's very well made, and the brushes on the bottom are well spaced and do a good job. It springs back and forth well so that I can get into awkward spots. The wider width means I don't have to make as many passes. This attachment isn't cheap, but I feel that it will last a lifetime.
