Hi, does anyone know where i'd buy a tool for fitting laminate type flooring, its the tool used for going on the end of the last board in a line where you cant hit the board as its too close to the wall.

Builders Providers or B&Q

Apparently it's called a pull bar, just in case you end up having to ask for it.
I bought one in Woodies(as part of a floor fitting kit, couldn't find one for sale on it's own), have since seen them in B&Q and a few other places.

Thanks, I'll try there.

Can be done with any kind of pinch bar and even a claw hammer. This tool is not needed for laminate floors at all. I've fit 4 so far this month and hundreds the last few years and I've never used one.

Thanks for info, got a good one in B&Q for nearly half the price of one in Woodies.
I'm no expert on fitting floors but for the few i have done i find it a handy tool.
