Bessey SVH400 Strap Tool

Installing a T&G floor (not laminate) in a log cabin, eighty eight to be precise. My normal partner in crime on projects, my wife can no longer assist due to illness and I have to accept I am getting on and suffer with arthritis of the hands so needed help and bought these straps after reading reviews and watching you-tube reviews. Very easy to use and with three straps I can install four boards at once. Looked at cheaper ones, but the build quality on these is excellent and with further projects like a new kitchen and raising the floor level throughout the house in the pipeline thought it worth the extra. Be warned wear gloves and use a rubber mallet to aid seating, as when boards are under tension they snap into position and exposed skin will get trapped if you slap the boards with a bare hand, I know from experience, swearing did help.

Excellent item I really enjoyed working with it... I was gonna buy 4 more immediately after first day of using them but unfortunately price became higher...

good quality, will buy again

Easy and effective to use, well made and does the job - just what it's supposed to do.

Easy to use,very strong and a must for fitting laminate flooring
