Tools & Techniques for Laminate Installation

A professional looking job requires that the ends of the laminate pieces be butted tightly up against each other. However, that can be hard to do where the ends are against the wall. This is called a pull bar and has a wide lip that drops over the end of the board and a sliding weight to proved the �hammer� effect without chipping or denting the end of the laminate strip. This design as a “home grown” improvement. A standard pull bar is made to use a hammer and should cost about $5.
