Conventional Carpet Wall Trimmer & Carpet Cutting Blade

My husband said its a time saver and works on linoleum as well. He is a professional floor fitter. He said it gives a clean cut on carpet.The product already comes with an installed blade. We bought a spare pack of blades for later.

Great piece for kit. Made my job so much easier and precision cutting. Great time saver money well spent.

Once you get a good run going it does a great job of fast accurate cuts.Recommend testing on a bit of cutoff put in place before you commit to your carpet.It does take some time get set as it seems to be designed by someone in 1950, all loose plates & shims to fiddle with.It's not something you can reset for another carpet as you walk into a different room, think old school stanley knife level tech. If you sneeze at the wrong time the bits are all over the floor.Mine came with tiny b&w guide which was for a different model. 1 blade supplied.A wide throat is needed for stiff carpet, so reduce the shims to balance out. Needs a hearty push & lift cuttings away with your offhand.

Came without any spare blades..... These blades are not as common as the ones fitted in "Stanley" type retractable blade knives. Ie not so easy to purchase low quantities.The tool works.....but...takes practise and care to learn. Once learnt, ok for longish straight cuts. Clean out the blade area (carefully) every M or so.Tool is suited to DIY. Pro fitters have experience and confidence to cut long edges almost freehand cause thats there skill.

You must read the instructions and practice on a piece of waste carpet first. You still need a Stanley knife for initial trimming. Then use this wall trimmer for a tidy finish. Great tool. A must have if fitting carpets

Extremely clean cut! Easy to use! Has a good grip and very sturdy to use!! Reduces wastage of carpet. Brilliant product!

It seems to be a gimmick. albeit I can't be certain as there were no instructions. It is fiddly and poorly designed. The idea is that shims are removed/replaced to adjust the cutting height. I suppose with experience, guessing the number of shims, depending on carpet thickness, will become more accurate. The problem is by that stage the shims will have been lost on a previous job as there is nowhere to keep them safely on the device. That's assuming other crucial parts aren't dropped and lost during the adjustment. Unless you are doing carpet fitting for a living, this product is not worth it. Also, I haven't seen a carpet fitter using one of these other than on Youtube so maybe that tells a story. Additionally the blades come in packs costing about £20. I can't see this product proving to be an economical purchase when a pack of 100 blades for a utility knife costs £6. If this product worked as intended, somebody would have designed a slicker product and got foothold in the market. On a positive note it is a sturdy and solid item and feels good quality.

Used this carpet cutter and it works really well. I was able to fit a carpet with great accuracy thanks to the way this cuts the carpet exactly the right size.
