what tools do I need to lay laminate floors?

Answer 1

table saw or circular saw: to cut laminate
jigsaw: to make cutouts under doorjambs and around vents
drill: to install most floor moldings
undercut saw: to cut doorjambs
hammer: to tap boards together
tapping block: "
pull bar: "
spacers: to allow appropriate expansion gap
That's about all. You can get by without a table or circular saw if you want to make all your cuts with a jigsaw but this is very slow.
All of these tools are available at Lowe's or a similar store.

Answer 2

My husband just did this for my mother. You can go to the flooring dept. and ask. Some sell a kit. A rubber malot was one tool. He spent $40. You will need a circular saw, as well.
