Carpet Repair/Install Tools - All You Need

[jtsunbrite]

I really could never quite get the hang of the thing to be honest. Then again - I don't do a bunch of re-stretches.

i can understand that, it looks like a pain in the ass to manhandle I cant see how that is speeding things up

The videos for it are awesome! Maybe I just didn't get the hang of it.

Not too bad really.

I'm dropping to $1300 - if they don't sell I'll just have to keep them!!!

 

[keep it clean]

If no one bites keep them and wait. At least once a year theres someone on here looking for complete set of installation tools.

You might as well just keep them

My back doesn't want me to keep them!

clean it all up and take better pics and when some one asks in a month or so then you have clean fresh pics and it will appeal to them,,,, if you break it up im interested in the cool glide.

And of course - got a repair call today! Couldn't do it though - too much heavy custom furniture built and installed over the carpet

I have bad knees and the thought of doing much repair work makes them hurt even more. I've done tons of reinstalls when I work at Servpro but have done very little since I started on my own almost 10 years ago. I do have a guy I always refer out, he does a far better job than I could do anyways.

OK - here ya go. I am selling all my repair tools - must all go together. Needs to be a pick up or meet near Orange county NY as there is too much to ship. Don't want to break them up and no low ballers - they still make me $. $1500 for the lot. It's everything you will need to repair - re-stretch and install carpets. Any questions - ask away!
Mini Jack, Tri-Force, Kool Glide with 1 full roll of tape (missing maybe 3 feet), standard iron with a few rolls of tape, Power stretcher with set of extensions, tool box full of goodies!

Carpet installation tools have to be the most difficult tools to sell. No one wants to install carpet anymore and those who still do have all the tools they need....or want. Sad times for the carpet installers these past ten years. Good luck selling them.

Oh, BTW....I'll be back up in the Mid-Hudson Valley in 2 weeks. Do you have an electric blanket you want to sell?

 

[OldCarpetVet]

yup that's the ticket

I've done that a few times myself.

Yeah, yeah, yeah....I know....I've been gone a while. I haven't forgotten about you brotha. Been busy with my new careers. How you been?

Luckily for me due to my thick Scottish blood I don't feel the cold! I do hate it though!
