Tactical Flooring Tools
Tactical Flooring Tools' ratchet flooring clamp features a ratchet plate that will fit under the toekick in the kitchen and still be able to tighten the strap. The strap material was chosen because it does not stretch like other straps, which must be completely stretched out before they begin to pull boards together. The color was chosen to easily find the tools when rolling up in low light.
