    Just wondered what everyone uses for tucking there carpets down?
    I use a awl and some times a Lino knife!

    Plastic for tiles, sanitary and molding. Steel bolster and awl the rest. Laminate pulling bar for under really low stuff. ;)

    Hi,

    I and my colleagues always have used lino knife and awl, although I recently purchased a Speedcat which on some carpets is alot quicker.
