scissors

Anyone know where I can get a really good pair of carpet shears from, I don't mean the 30 quid ones that flooring suppliers sell, but something with a bit more ooomph if you know what I mean.
oh, and as my missus says, anything between ten and twelve inches will be fine. :lol:

 

Do you mean like the old big heavy ones that used to be used for felt?

 

i,ve got a pair , only used once and still in the vinyl sleeve, fairly heavy, i will measure them if you are interested young man

 

I don't really know to be honest. I've been working on my own for so long I'm a bit out of touch with what everyone else is using.
When I started as a YTS boy I had a 12" pair, quite heavy that developed a light coating of rust over the years, but I put them somewhere safe a couple of years ago and now I can't find them.

 

doctor say's he can trim it down to size any time no problem :twisted: :twisted:

 

Hi we stock scissors by a Sheffield company who have been making scissors since 1760, still owned by the same family and still being made by tradtional methords. I spent a full day on the workshop floor watching and chatting with the craftsman. These have a serated section which grips the carpet as the cutting blade comes down. They can be reset if required. this is a real top quality product. http://www.carpetfittersshoponline.co.u ... -297-p.asp

hope you find this useful.

 

Cheers, Rugrat, I might just take you up on that, they look pretty decent
