Works Great, Space out your screws.

I used this product this past Saturday. My entire house squeaks, it is so bad it would wake up the entire family when someone walks around in any room. I have hardwood floors in most of the house and carpet in the bedrooms so in master I decided to try it first. It started out slow as I was not hitting the joist as the instructions say to do. I have a pop out ceiling in my basement so I could see the fact that i was missing the joist so it made it easier then some others may find. Once I was lined up it went pretty easily. I started spacing them about 3 inches away from each other but that was using a lot of screws So I then decided to go about 8 inches apart and it managed to do a great job and save a lot of screws.I left the heads on all the screws until the very end, that way if i needed to add more I could determine where to do so. I did add about 5 screws at the end as I still had minor squeaks. It was so nice to walk around the room and not hear a single squeak. Now I have to try to work on the hardwood floors but i wanted to practice in bedroom first. The head broke off very easily by the way. Depending on how much area you need I would recommend getting extra screws. I used this entire kit and used maybe 10 additional screws for one bedroom but it would depend on the size of the area. I would say just start by spacing them out far apart like a 8 inches to 12 inches and go back in fill in where you need so you don't waste material. GREAT PRODUCT

Squeak be GONE!

It works, period; some advice... Test drill on scrap wood to find best sizes drill bit, and if possible, scrap wood should be same wood and age as your floor. If bit is too small, screw will snap too early leaving a screw without a head, only vice grips will remove it. For finding floor joists, I used 1/8 drill bit, but after much trial/error my floor looked like Swiss cheese, so I ate some (kidding), so switched to 6" long 1/16" drill bit for finding joist, makes smaller holes easy to fill. When repairing squeak, use at least 4 screws few inches apart; one screw is not enough, squeak will come back within hours.

Be patient, but they work for subfloor squeaks

Squeaks and floor noise can happen for a variety of reasons, from lack of humidity to improper or older subfloors just loosening over time. This product worked well to fix our subfloor squeaking by tightly reattaching it to the joists. The hardest part is finding where the joists are. They tend to run 16 inches apart so if you find one, the next one is quick. We actually used a wall stud finder on hardwood flooring outside the carpeted room to help us narrow in on where they might be (the stud finder had no luck through carpet). We followed the directions (there's some good videos online as well) and after locating the joists, inserting a few screws, and snapping them off the problem was completely solved. There is no sign of damage to the carpet, and the screws snapped so we cannot feel them no matter how hard we press over them. Overall, this is a quick, inexpensive fix that is far less messy than many other options. I'd recommend this product and think it's worth a try before removing flooring or subflooring to solve this issue.

Yes and YES. ANYONE can do this! Amazing.Thank You!

OMG ITS BRILLIANT! I was skeptical but desperate. We had a horrible popping squeaking groaning spot in our carpeted upstairs bedroom floor since we bought the house. Over 2 years i swear it spread. You couldnt take a step ANYWHERE in the room and not be heard throughout the house. I have video of before and after (when i figure out how, I'll upload it). Finding the joist near it was the hardest part. (Google how). Once that screw went through it IT STOPPED IMMEDIATELY! I then measured hiw far from the wall i was and did one every 10 inches on the same joist (again, the whole room squeaked by then) each time i would stand up and step and HAPPY DANCE like a crazy person!!. I literally walked around the house looking for squeaks. I've now done the the carpeted stairs (8 out of 12 squeaked). Tomorrow im doing one in the hardwood and one in the laminate. Looks trickier but I'm not scared now. If the inventer were here i would KISS THEM! also, because I know nothing about Construction and assumed i could just measure the 16 inches, I drilled 10 screws in the area until I finally hit a joist, but i would give $1,000 if you could tell me where even 1 was. AMAZING! Zero damage. Tip: when snapping off the heads, think bottle top. Easy peasy:(

If you are having problems try using a deep stud finder with the capability to find wires and plumbing so you do not make a costly mistake and try to sue this brilliant company for their beautiful product they've come up with

I believe I should be the spokes person for this product. For the people who put it didn't work I say make sure you hit the joist. If you are having problems try using a deep stud finder with the capability to find wires and plumbing so you do not make a costly mistake and try to sue this brilliant company for their beautiful product they've come up with. E. B jr is not an employee nor is affiliated with O'BERRY ENETERPRISES that is of coarse they would like to hire my beautiful self to make commercials. By the way I no longer need to take a detour late at night when I'm hanging out with my wife around the couch as not to wake up my "Mommy Daddy alone time spoilers"...even though I and my wife love our children very much.

It did a great job quieting the majority of the floor

This kit does its job very well. I used all fifty screws in one small upstairs-carpeted bedroom and actually ran out of the screws quicker than I expected. It did a great job quieting the majority of the floor. A hint for the real do-it-yourself'ers, I quickly learned all you need to accomplish this task is the scored screws and a pair of pliers. You learn after your first couple screws that you don't necessarily need the base to do anything, It just helps if you can't control yourself with the screw-gun. In fact for my extra screws that I need, I may just score some wood screws real quick with a hacksaw or dremel. Good luck!

Great for Fixing Squeaks Under Carpeted Floor

Wow, this tool worked great. I was able to fix several squeaks under a carpeted floor. I spent more time looking the floor joist than actually driving the screws into the joist to fix the squeaks. The joist finder provided in the kit worked well except that the hexagon shaft (which goes into the drill) is not quite long enough and kept disengaging from my drill chuck. I also tried to fix a squeak under a linoleum floor but I was unsuccessful. The screw did not break off as advertised, but I suspect that's because I was not in a floor joist. I was unable to find the joist using my ultrasonic stud finder, and you can't use the joist finder provided in this kit for a linoleum floor. The screw also left a hole in the linoleum. So, I wouldn't recommend it for that, but over carpet it worked like a charm.

Works well and highly recommend it!

Ok, there's the deal: - Does it solve the problem of squeaky floor? YES, my floors are quite and sturdy after the remedy. - Is it easy to use? YES, it takes my couple of try-outs to locate the joist and some learning to break the screw using the tool provided, but I managed to make a room non-squeaky within 1.5 hours (including learning how to use it). - Is the tool set perfect? No, it would be nice if the break-out tool piece (the tripod) is made of metal instead of plastic. It would be nice if they could design the joist finder better so it won't slip out of my screw driver's slot. - Is it worth it? Absolutely YES! This is the ONLY solution in the market without tearing down the whole room. In summary, it works! and I recommend it!
