Review: It seems expensive but it’s totally worth it - I bought this based on all of the reviews I work with a general contractor and do quite a bit of laminate and vinyl flooring. I came across this tool when looking for a larger tapping block because it seemed like a good idea to have more surface area to avoid cracking the edge of a panel. This tool is in a league of its own it has plenty of service area and doesn’t even utilize a lip on the edge you actually strike the tongue but since you’re striking so much area at once no damage is caused and It allows you to completely set and lock into place each piece one at a time Rather than trying to lift a row to get them to seat and lock into place properly. I’ve only used it on laminate Pergo which can be a nightmare to lock into place and I am able to strike the edge as hard as I want and I mean really hard for stubborn pieces in stubborn spots and it works great with no damage. I installed for rooms so far with this tool and have not damaged one piece and I haven’t even had to use my mallet for anything but the last row. This thing is great I recommend this for professional installers I also recommend this for anybody who’s planning on doing their own installation this thing will save you time it’ll save you money it really is awesome. The only downside that I have so far is that I’ve smacked my finger twice and it freaking hurt a lot and I mean a lot a lot. I’ve never smacked myself with a hammer or pinched my finger with a normal block so it just takes a little getting used to but because it’s so big you’ve got to be careful where your fingers are. No fault to the tool and I’ve had no other issues. Even if you only have a Gap of four or 5 inches for your last piece this thing is heavy enough to tap your piece into place With ease which is awesome because sometimes you can’t even get a hammer between a wall and your floor and this thing can sneak in there. Also if you have to tap down on a plank testing does it even better than a rubber mallet or a plastic hammer ever could. So pick this tool up and go get yourself some of the big stand up spacers and get to work. Review: Much more efficient than a mallet and block. - Only ties up one hand, making it much faster to set planks than using a mallet and block. Definitely worth the increased cost when you consider the time and effort saved. It has plenty of mass to do the job, and the impact area is greater than a block that you hit with a mallet. Check out YouTube videos, you will see why the pros use this type of tool. I am 800 square feet into a 2000 square foot job, and I am very glad I went this route. Watch your fingers! It will hurt just like a hammer if one gets between the block and the plank. Quality is excellent. ## Features - Set planks with one or two strikes without a flooring mallet. The Striker XXL Tapping Block from The Bullet by MARSHALLTOWN is the faster, safer, and less finger-crushing way to install click-together flooring. - Sometimes modern flooring requires three hands — not anymore. The Striker has a solid, ergonomic handle that allows you to swing the tapping block while holding your board in place without a floor mallet. - This installer-designed tapping block has optimum balance and the ideal weight for striking click-together planks into place at an angle. Use the weight of the tool to strike tongue-and-groove planks into place at any angle. Tall enough to drive click-together flooring when it is tilted to the angle at which you need to strike it. - Proudly manufactured in the USA with global materials, the extra-long Striker is made from durable, high-quality HDPE and a smooth hardwood handle for an easy grip. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07YKX6VF3 | | Best Sellers Rank | #163,789 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #17,510 in Hand Tools (Tools & Home Improvement) | | Brand | MARSHALLTOWN | | Brand Name | MARSHALLTOWN | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,379 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00855720006531 | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Handle Material | Wood | | Head Material | High-Density Polyethylene | | Head Style | Rounded | | Included Components | XXL Tapping Block | | Item Type Name | floor tapping block | | Item Weight | 8 ounces | | Manufacturer | Gunntech Manufacturing, Inc. | | Manufacturer Part Number | BA91-7119 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee | | Model Number | BA91-7119 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Style Name | Ergonomic | | UPC | 855720006531 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** MARSHALLTOWN - **Color:** Multicolor - **Handle Material:** Wood - **Head Material:** High-Density Polyethylene - **Item Weight:** 0.5 Pounds ## Images ![Striker XXL Tapping Block, Mallet-Free Flooring Installation, The Bullet by MARSHALLTOWN, Made in the USA, BA91-7119 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/619+t0YKYOL.jpg) ![Striker XXL Tapping Block, Mallet-Free Flooring Installation, The Bullet by MARSHALLTOWN, Made in the USA, BA91-7119 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61yWKzJ9PkL.jpg) ![Striker XXL Tapping Block, Mallet-Free Flooring Installation, The Bullet by MARSHALLTOWN, Made in the USA, BA91-7119 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jfsFuHJTL.jpg) ![Striker XXL Tapping Block, Mallet-Free Flooring Installation, The Bullet by MARSHALLTOWN, Made in the USA, BA91-7119 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ltQXZXo9L.jpg) ![Striker XXL Tapping Block, Mallet-Free Flooring Installation, The Bullet by MARSHALLTOWN, Made in the USA, BA91-7119 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61BJSM5pAsL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How can this be used with click-together flooring as mentioned in the description? There is no offset edge to protect the tongued edges of planks.** A: I'm an installer I purchased one couple weeks ago and I love it !! When useing you need to pivot slap you keep one end always I contact with your material , by doing this the whole surface area of the block hits at the same time and because of the wieght of the block you're not putting much effort into your swing. takes a minute to get the hang of it ,but I was comfortable useing it during the first job and was well on my way in about 30min no need for hammer at all **Q: We have a super difficult vinyl plank flooring we have to hit hard with a regular block multiple times to seam. will this product help with this?** A: Yes highly recommend it. Gives you power and control. I used it to install Pergo, it was powerful enough for my 9 year old and wife to use and join the seams without damaging the tongue and grooves. Use the tapping block with this to protect the flooring. **Q: what makes it so special and worth over $40 , that a piece of 2x4 or 2x3 couldn't do ?** A: If your a professional installer the price isn't even a question. I've been Blasting out units with this tapping block for the last 2 years on full throttle mode and yet to have a complaint. These are awesome and if you like I'll challenge you to go against me. Your 2x4 against my striker?? **Q: Don't need a hammer to use the heavy tapping block?** A: I highly recommend this tapping block. No, one don’t need a hammer just use block to tap the flooring together Very happy with mine. Hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It seems expensive but it’s totally worth it *by M***O on May 7, 2022* I bought this based on all of the reviews I work with a general contractor and do quite a bit of laminate and vinyl flooring.

It really makes installing floors super easy and fast. It is high quality and the price is hard to beat for a tool this nice. It can be used for any type of flooring that requires a tight snug fit. It packs a good hard hit and wont damage the flooring material. I have used mine on many jobs and it has held up against some pretty nasty banging and it feels as good as when it arrived, it is very durable. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/181761749-striker-xxl-tapping-block-mallet-free-flooring-installation-the-bullet](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/181761749-striker-xxl-tapping-block-mallet-free-flooring-installation-the-bullet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
