Lift, move, and adjust flooring planks with total control. Plank Grabber is engineered to grip planks where suction cups fail — including textured surfaces, wood-grain finishes, and LVT. With an ergonomic handle, precision strike points for closing gaps, and built-in side hooks that pair seamlessly with pull bars, it streamlines every stage of your installation.
What Can Plank Grabber Do?
- Designed to work smooth and textured surfaces, wood, laminate or tiles
- Works where suction cups usually fail
- Close gaps on both the short edge and long edge of floating floor planks (use with a pull bar for the long edge)
- Speed up floor installations
- For a permanent fix to gaps in floor, combine with Injectafix
Good to Know
- Not suitable for raw or porous wood
- The floor must be clean and dust-free for the suction pad to grip
- Clean the suction pad with water and a sponge after every use — failure to do this will stop it gripping to the floor
- The end caps are designed to compress under heavy impact to protect the tool — replacements are available on our website
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the Mallet Pack?
Plank Grabber should only be tapped with a rubber mallet — a standard hammer will damage it. This pack pairs the tool with the correct 16 oz mallet so you're ready to work straight away.
Will it damage or scratch my floor?
No — it grips with a soft suction pad and has no sharp edges. Keep the pad clean and it won't mark the surface.
Do I need adhesive too?
For a permanent gap fix, add Injectafix — included in our Total Fix Pack.

Built to Last — Premium Anodised Aluminium

Replacement parts: Both the suction pad and end caps are available separately on our website. Keep the suction pad clean and dust-free and you'll get a long life from each pad.
Pro Tip: Prevent Gaps From Coming BackApply
Injectafix Adhesive into the gap
before closing it with Plank Grabber. Injectafix is a flexible adhesive that moves with the natural expansion and contraction of your floor, keeping planks locked together permanently. Available separately or in our
Total Fix Pack and
Super Value Pack.
Tight Planks? Add Click LubeIf several planks are linked and hard to slide,
Click Lube Floor Lubricant makes the job effortless. Apply it to the grooves of the planks in the train and they'll slide together far more easily — while protecting Plank Grabber from unnecessary force. Available separately or in our
Super Value Pack.
Works Where Suction Cups Fail
Plank Grabber is specifically designed to grip planks with wood-grain effects, textured surfaces, and LVT — exactly the planks that standard suction cups can't hold. Follow the instructions, look after it, and you'll wonder how you ever worked without it.
