    Will tuck thinner carpet or felt backed on gripper, but best for creasing

    Everyone that knows me will tell you that i own almost every tool you can buy.

    But on courses i keep it real and teach people how to make their own tools that will out preform most tools on teh market.

    As for the speed cat....... buy one ! Like i say its not the best for what it was designed for but for creasing carpets its really ggod.

    Yeah I have a Speedcat. As said previously I use it mainly for creasing and setting the carpet on the gripper. I do also sometimes use it for tucking but have found that you have to be careful to keep the tool flat on the carpet or you can risk the wheels marking the skirting board.

    Glad I bought it though, on nice big rooms with long runs it really does speed things up..........wont help you much in a small bathroom though.
