I first saw the Squeak No More system demonstrated on an episode of This Old House. At first, it struck me as a crazy idea. . . but after seeing it demonstrated it makes a lot of sense. Plus, as a father of a little baby, I have learned to hate the evil of a squeaky floor at an inopportune time. Picture stealth-daddy moving ninja-like past the crib until a squeak awakens the baby. Shrill screaming ensues. Squeak No More is designed to silence squeaky flooring under carpeting. The kit includes a little drill bit with threaded ends to find your floor joists. After locating the joists, you simply use a cordless drill to run the specialized screws through a tripod-like jig right into the floor. You then flip over the jig, and it snaps off the screws just below your carpet and the floor surface. Presto! Squeaky floors have now been silenced, much to the joy of ninja-daddies, mommies, and downstairs neighbors everywhere!
More details are available from the parent company O’Berry Enterprises.
McFeely’s carries the Squeak No More kit with 50 screws for about $30.
