This product works as advertised. The only minor problem I had was with finding the studs (but that is more of a user/home error than a product error).
Also, they should really give you fair warning that if used more than 3 times in a row to find a stud, the stud finder will heat up (extremely hot). Mine got so hot on the fourth try that the tip melted off into the stud. This was not that big of an issue because my kit came with two stud finders.
For the remainder of usage, I used a water cup to cool the stud finder in-between guesses.
The last tip I have is to not break the screws off until the squeak has been silenced. If you screw the screw into the floor and the squeak is still there, back the screw back out of the wood and try again (the screws hold up to this abuse until you purposely break them).
Good luck everyone, I also purchased the 250 screw kit so that my parents could also silence their squeaks.
We have some squeaks (groans really) that have developed in the flooring under the wall to wall carpeting in our six month old new house. The builder assured us that nailing and gluing the decking when installing would prevent sqeaking. He sent his skilled carpenter by to quiet the squeaks. He was somewhat successful with shims from below or finishing nails through the carpet from above, but gave up in frustration on one particularly annoying spot. He had not heard of Squeeeeek No More (as featured on *This Old House*). I bought it and was able to stop the groan in front of one of our bedroom closets in an hour using four screws and a bit of trial and error plus luck and carefully following the directions. I chalked this up to the learning curve, but saved the next squeak to quiet another day. The next one was resolved with the SNM system in about 5 minutes. Was I more skillful or just luckier? The third one (the one the carpenter gave up on) I also fixed quickly. This was too good to be true. Then I tried it on a fourth place and eventually gave up. The squeak persisted no matter how many screws or how carefully placed. When it works, it is great, simple, effective. When it doesn't work right away, it it can lead to frustration and requires patience and resolve. Better leave it and come back another time when rested. I wondered why they don't just screw down the flooring in the first place, but decided it was probably too expensive both in material cost and, particularly, labor costs. A man using a power nailer can stitch a floor seam at sewing machine speed, but screwing the floor down would be a whole lot slower. This product works well, but it does not perform miracles every time. There is art to the science. I considered gifting the kit to my carpenter and letting him do the work, since the house is still under warranty; but I wanted to try it myself first.
