That material principle helps explain why a floating floor may need occasional realignment. This hand tool is not a cure for moisture, installation or structural problems; it is designed to help nudge a movable, smooth-surface plank back into position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fpl.fs.usda.gov\/documnts\/fplgtr\/fplgtr113\/ch03.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRead the USDA Wood Handbook chapter\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eGrip, Turn and Tap\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003ePlace the 118 mm rubber suction pad on a clean, smooth, sealed plank, press the black locking lever, rotate the body to a practical striking angle and use a rubber mallet (not included) to tap the reinforced side block.
