I was stupid enough and possibly full of dutch courage when I decided that fitting an 8 x 4 metre carpet would be child's play.
How wrong I was.
Well made carpet is really heavy, nearly 90KG in fact and trying to carry this in to my office was painful and hilarious.
I am however glad I purchased a few key things:
1: Really good underlay: Plushwalk
2: A proper carpet knife and lots of blades, changed often.
3: A hammer tacker. Sounds really satisfying and puts staples in with ease.
4: This knee kicker.
I had previously used a few bits of timber with lots of nails in it but this is a nice carpet that deserves care and attention.
Thankfully this is really easy to use, solidly made and comfortable to use for a job that had me struggling to get out of bed the following day.
Do yourself a favour though and watch videos on using these as the instructions are aimed at those that probably use these every day.
Highly recommended.
