    Hi Ray, im a bit of a pirate tbh, i generally us it right to left & left to right, however, i must admit that these days i mostly use the side blade of the trimmer, and sometimes use it to tuck as well, it works well, try it mate.

    I too tend to use it both ways although I do tend to find left to right works better for tucking. I've used it a fair bit now but still getting used to it. I often go back to my EZ tucker which I find easier to use. sound like a right saddo eh !! :D

    Thing is Ray these tools really work, god knows why people dont use them more, the ez tucker is that the one that looks a bit like a boomerang, red handle, wheels on either end?

    Aye thats it !, except mine has a black handle !! I'm on my second one, the first one fell to bits very quickly but my latest one has lasted longer - great on stairs - straight or winders !

    What about stiff stubborn carpets also does the ez tucker work on vinyls?.

    EZtucker has worked well on all types of carpets only thing i would say is it tends to push the carpet too far down into the gulley sometimes. Never tried it on domestic vinyl, however I did use my speedcat on a recent polysafe job to put a crease in the vinyl once it had been warmed up. I would say the wheel on the easy tuck tool would be too sharp for vinyls. I'm still experimenting with it really

    What do you mean by pushes the carpet to far down? Giving you a dip maybe? Have you tried making your gripper gap a bit tighter?

    If I apply to much pressure it pushes the carpet behind the gripper instead of just creasing and setting it on the pins. Its not a huge problem but it does prevent the cutter from working properly
