Works as advertisedMar 20, 2008
By M. Czajkowski
This product works as advertised. The only minor problem I had was with finding the studs (but that is more of a user/home error than a product error).

Also, they should really give you fair warning that if used more than 3 times in a row to find a stud, the stud finder will heat up (extremely hot). Mine got so hot on the fourth try that the tip melted off into the stud. This was not that big of an issue because my kit came with two stud finders.

For the remainder of usage, I used a water cup to cool the stud finder in-between guesses.

The last tip I have is to not break the screws off until the squeak has been silenced. If you screw the screw into the floor and the squeak is still there, back the screw back out of the wood and try again (the screws hold up to this abuse until you purposely break them).

Good luck everyone, I also purchased the 250 screw kit so that my parents could also silence their squeaks.

Good product, but some skill and luck requiredDec 29, 2007
By John Kenderdine "physical sciences teacher"
We have some squeaks (groans really) that have developed in the flooring under the wall to wall carpeting in our six month old new house. The builder assured us that nailing and gluing the decking when installing would prevent sqeaking. He sent his skilled carpenter by to quiet the squeaks. He was somewhat successful with shims from below or finishing nails through the carpet from above, but gave up in frustration on one particularly annoying spot. He had not heard of Squeeeeek No More (as featured on *This Old House*). I bought it and was able to stop the groan in front of one of our bedroom closets in an hour using four screws and a bit of trial and error plus luck and carefully following the directions. I chalked this up to the learning curve, but saved the next squeak to quiet another day. The next one was resolved with the SNM system in about 5 minutes. Was I more skillful or just luckier? The third one (the one the carpenter gave up on) I also fixed quickly. This was too good to be true. Then I tried it on a fourth place and eventually gave up. The squeak persisted no matter how many screws or how carefully placed. When it works, it is great, simple, effective. When it doesn't work right away, it it can lead to frustration and requires patience and resolve. Better leave it and come back another time when rested. I wondered why they don't just screw down the flooring in the first place, but decided it was probably too expensive both in material cost and, particularly, labor costs. A man using a power nailer can stitch a floor seam at sewing machine speed, but screwing the floor down would be a whole lot slower. This product works well, but it does not perform miracles every time. There is art to the science. I considered gifting the kit to my carpenter and letting him do the work, since the house is still under warranty; but I wanted to try it myself first.

The 7-year-old squeak is gone.Mar 02, 2007
By Silent floor
What an ingenious tool! The hardest part of the job was to locate the floor joist. Once we found it, things went very quickly. Our white pile carpet shows no signs of disturbance, and the very annoying squeak is completely gone. We discovered that, if you do miss the joist, the screw can very easily be removed and relocated. We wish we had found this unique tool 7 years ago.

Effective at silencing your squeaky floorsNov 29, 2008
By Jeff Chambers
This product works reasonably well for silencing squeaky floors. I used it specifically through carpet to repair plywood flooring over joists on a second floor. While this method definitely has its drawbacks, I believe that it's the best option available aside from rolling back carpet.

Some important facts to be aware of:

- For light-colored carpet, the joist finder (long screw that you attach to your drill) may leave dark marks on the carpet. These were easily cleaned with carpet cleaner but were nevertheless unexpected.

- The joist finder lasts for only 100-150 tests. The kit includes two joist finders so if you're working with a large area, purchase two kits.

- The joist finder gets extremely hot and will cause burns if not handled properly.

- If possible, use an electronic Deep Scan stud finder rather than the joist finder. It'll save you lots of extra work.

- 100 screws will fix 4-5 squeak spots on your floor. Purchase more screws than you think you'll need.

- Plan on spending 30-45 minutes per squeak. Most of your time will be spent on searching for joints and figuring out how to patter the screws. Some carpet cleaning may be required for lighter-colored carpet.

- Some of the screws may not sink deep enough and will stick up through the carpet. Make sure to sink the screws heads to the maximum allowable by the tool/template.

- The tool/template is plastic, not metal as it appears in the product image.

- If you have berber carpet, be prepared for some damage.

For $16, this product is well worth the money. Just be cautious with the joist finder to prevent carpet damage or burns.

Floors quiet againJan 23, 2007
By Jim K "Jim"
I was a doubting Thomas, but I purchased the Sqeeeeek No More kit and gave it a shot. The product did exactly what it was supposed to. It tightened the plywood floor to the joists below and stopped the squeak. The screws broke off exactly where they were supposed to and disappeared below the rug without leaving a sharp point sticking up to be stepped on. Depending on the area that needs to be silenced, you will probably have to use multiple screws. I used as many as five screws in a two foot area. The only problem I had was not with the screws or the tool itself, it was locating the first joist in the room... it took several attempts, but that's expected if you have no idea where the first one is. You'll need a power drill (or battery operated) for this project. Bottom line: I don't know how the product could be better, unless of course it included more screws and a spare joist locator screw.
