I tried this technique and it works great! Just be sure your socket fits tightly on the extension. You don't want a red hot socket slipping off the extension and landing on your new carpet. Ask me how I know!

[@atrinid]

Good job! An old soldiering iron works too! Always hot and ready to burn right through the carpet when warmed up.

[@Beastmaster769]

Use a soldering iron, makes perfect size hole , no flame, no nail , no hot extension or socket to hold. Perfect size, place in holder when not in use.

Gonna be installing new carpet in my 1966 chevelle, this definitely is a much better idea then cutting a X and getting fluff and stuff everywhere! Eager to try this

[@snakeoil24snake3]

Thanks for the great video and how too. I am doing the exact same job on a Chevelle and wondered the best way to make seat bolt holes with out fraying the carpet.

Electrical Metal Tubing (EMT), makes a very good burner. Use pieces about a foot long and wrap one end with a good rag.

[@speedy_cheetah6425]

How did it go?

[@mrt8560]

It works like a charm!

[@midlifemotox]

Great idea. And,,, Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. 😄

[@enjoythesho1992]

You can also you a soldering iron

[@Sith_dude]

Don't forget to watch for wiring that could get damaged.

[@Olds_Gold]

You said " if your take your time, you can NAIL it every single time." I see what you did there 🤣😂🤣😂

[@denisebarragan9993]

Can I ask where the carpet is from?
Or if there’s a specific company you recommend that does custom carpets for a car

[@JeffreyNevrotski]

What I got to know is why is your propane bottle the same color as a fire extinguisher?

[@nicwaymire]

It's oxygen not propane

[@rockspoon6528]

@@nicwaymire That is most definitely propane and not oxygen. He even calls it propane multiple times in the video.

[@splitbumper7398]

get out a old soldering iron pen or wood burner. perfect holes
