Abstract: Clampless flooring tool includes a base, a wedge sidewardly guidable by and in slidable contact with the base, and a force applying device secured to the base and in contact with the wedge, which drives the wedge sidewardly. The wedge provides a force oblique to the force applied from the force applying device such that a flooring piece can be acted upon by the oblique force in a direction oblique to the direction of the force applied by the force applying device. An obliquely movable member, which, in addition, may be sidewardly immovable, may be provided between and in contact with the wedge for contact with the flooring. The tool is especially useful in installation of laminate flooring.
