CG...sharing info on the tools of his trade...what a guy, as some would never share what tools they use. A++ and thank you!!!
That's really awesome that you would show this side of your business even though it might create competition! I always like to see all the special tools people use to do their job. If i might suggest, it would be cool if you might show a few indepth tutorials down the line on how to repair carpet the right way and pointing out some of the common wrong ways people can do it. I'm not going to steal your secrets for profit I just think what you do is almost magic to the common person and that if I even run into a situation where I need to fix some carpet ill look back on your videos for help. Thank you for what you do carpet guys!!
Thanks. I’ve uploaded hours of unedited content showing all techniques and process. Here’s one more in-depth with explanations for DIYers: ua-cam.com/video/ByVoCUTxpO0/v-deo.html
@@carpetguy Thanks! I realized after commenting that you have a ton of videos on how to repair carpets. My bad for assuming you hadn't yet. Im going to watch them and I'll give you feed back on what I think if anything is unclear. Thanks for the response✌️
Fuck yeah, I love watching people share their professions / passion. Also learning about trades is just nice 10/10
Hi Josh, for seams on a concrete floor, the Gundlach 711 "Big Squeezy" carpet stretcher works great! It's a wonderful tool that holds the carpet in place and allows you to run the seamer right under it. I have 6 of them.
I find that drilling the tac strips in and nailing in with aluminum 3/4 nails holds a lot better when working on concrete
I started wearing steel/composite toe protecting work shoes as an alternative to hot heavy boots while out on the road flagging traffic closures. I now wear them daily and run into a few things [literally] every week where I'm glad I wear them!
Great tour! You helped fill in a lot of blanks! Thanks Carpet Guy🤓
nothing beats those personna blades 🤙🏻
Dude is a beast in the rug game
Love your stuff man
2:21 aka suicide knife. Crain top cutter is the standard one most guys use, also the Crain kicker is nicer to use. Crain and Roberts are the same company. I used a 3'' wide cold chisel instead of a stair chisel because I can chop concrete with it also. Too many concrete floors have snot on them in the edges. Can't do that with a stair tool. 6:00 aka porcupine tool.
Thanks for this. Your skits and shorts are amusing, but its so nice to learn about the equipment!
Love the editing as always 🤣👍
Missing a seamer down, and that little blunt nose Robert's 2 in 1 is the best row pin there is, I'm surprised you don't use it, well at least for new carpet anyways
My man, i work with carpet too. Im learning so much from you.
I want merchandise
Here you go! youtube.com/@carpetguy
Love your videos :)
One tool that I am surprised you don't use is a hook knife. I use my hook knife all the time for all kinds of werid stuff. I think using a traditional seam iron is a bit more cost effective too whenever possible. The Kool Glide tape like you said is very expensive compared to traditional seam tape.
Yes, for installs, yes. Kool glide great for small repair work. I love my 5-in-1. It can do the work of a hook plus some but minus the cutting.
@@carpetguy that's true, you can do basically all the same things with the 5in1. Do you do any installation, or do you only do repairs? Very impressive what you're able to accomplish by the way, huge fan of your work!
@@Lance57Hinstalled for ten years then went full time with repairs 11 years ago 👍🏼 …got your email. Will respond.
@@carpetguy thanks man, you're awsome!
Thanks, is really helpful
Glad it helped!
Thanks, Josh! As always, keep up the great work 👍
Hey I do hardwood flooring and I was wondering if you could fine a carpet guy as good as you in my are if I ever have the need I live in knoxville, Tennessee
Love your work, love your videos and you genuinely seem like a really good man.
I’m looking to do what you do in the UK.
Your tools are way better than ours though
So stone and folex is all you use to blend the carpet wow I’ve been using dye that’s so much easier and cheaper I’ll give it shot thanks carpet guy what’s the brush you use is it nylon
I’m jealous.
The best in the bay
😅 Thanks Misha
LETS GOOOO
What’s worse is making a video with a ringing bell every other word
e
3:49 or you can used just you knife 🤣🤣 not need this
You got a lots of tools don't need to do just carpet
If it works for you, you can use it.
If you a carpet guy you already know all the tools not need this video
Idk if he’s saying you need all these tools, I think he’s just showing what he’s collected over the years.
That song is trash bro, sounds like a guy looking for his joint in the couch... And I don't even smoke the lettuce 🥬
Love your stuff, but lose the song
I believe it was fan made. I like it though. I think it’s a lovely song
