Gave up on eyeballing plank spacing, now I use spacers every time

I stopped trying to judge gaps by eye and began using spacers for every row. My floors look straighter and clients are happier. What tricks do you use for even spacing?

Gave up on eyeballing" shows how guessing often fails where a simple tool works.

lol same, tried to wing a miter cut once and it was so off. Bought a square the next day and never looked back.

Yeah I was the same with trying to guess angles for cuts. Got a cheap speed square and it's a total game changer, lines up perfect every time.
