Carpet trimmers

hi everyone, do any of you use a carpet trimmer for fitting carpets? If so which one do you find the best. Thanks for any responses.

 

Have a Roberts one, i never really got on with it until i started creasing the carpet on with a speedcat though.

 

Is there any videos showing how these are tools are used mate?

 

quite a few on you tube. i use the roberts one. bu normally hook it.

 

Cheers will have a look, always fancied giving one a try see if there as good as they make out.

 

Floorsbysouthernboys does a video on how to set it up. Like i said though i couldnt get on with it much before i started using a speedcat, but its great for those cloth backed carpets that blunt your blade after 2 feet.

 

Thanks your reply Stan I will have a look

 

Thanks spacey, I’ve heard of the romus one before actually feedbacks been really good for that especially for the cheaper end carpets.

 

What are they like on thick Saxony?
I have them and a crain (similar to the roberts) and a speedcat, but have never got round to trying them properly
