What happens here

To precisely close the gap, the installer demonstrates using a chisel. The chisel is positioned against the edge of the flooring plank, and then struck with a hammer or mallet. This method allows for more controlled force and precise movement, effectively tapping the plank into a tight fit without damaging the plank's surface.

Goal: Close gaps in hardwood flooring using a chisel and hammer.

Tools and materials

  • Chisel — Providing a leverage point and concentrated force for moving the plank
  • Hammer — Striking the chisel to tap the plank into position
  • Hardwood Flooring Planks — The flooring material being adjusted

Instead of trying to beat this in and close this gap, you can take a chisel, pound it in, pull it, close this gap.
