We moved into a new home a couple years ago and had squaky floors. I bought this exact item thinking it would help. I was able to get a couple screws in correctly, but then one of them snapped above the carpet line. If you stepped on it you would get poked (and it wouldn't feel good)! Luckilly one of my neighbors is a carpenter and was kind enough to help us out.He really worked a miracle to cut the carpet so we could get it out and then patched it up so you can't even tell. I mention this because it was a NIGHTMARE when it went wrong.
After we did this, we pulled up the carpet in the rest of the home and addressed all the other squeaks. What I learned from this experience is that it isn't hard to pull up carpet and attempt to fix squeaks. The only tool we used was a carpet stretcher. Look at your other options before rolling with this!

Hardwood or laminate? Hardwood will probably be better, but no guarantee. I recently remodeled my son's bedroom, removing the shag carpet that was in there. We marked every squeak and came back and screwed everything down with more screws, put baby powder in the joints, before having new carpet installed. There's still some squeaks. We did the same thing downstairs where we put in laminate and it still makes some noise. More in the winter when the humidity decreases.
No more floor.
I've installed these in a couple of places so far and with good results.
