Who It Is For
- DIYers tucking carpet at walls, corners and stair edges.
- Homeowners doing small seam and edge touch-ups.
- Installers who want a light tool for quick adjustments.
Who Should Skip It
- Professionals who need a rigid metal tool for daily jobsite use.
- Anyone installing a floor type that needs a different recommended tool.
How to Tuck Carpet With It
- Clear dust and debris from the edge so you do not grind grit into the carpet or trim.
- Set the wide end against the carpet edge at the wall.
- Press with steady, even pressure and work in short sections.
- Use the square edge in corners and the curved edge on stairs and rounded transitions.
- If the carpet will not tuck, stop. It may need stretching, trimming or a tack strip fix.
Do not use the plastic body as a pry bar or scraper. Use light pressure near painted baseboards and finished trim to avoid marking them.
Care
Wash off dust and adhesive with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, then dry it. Replace the tool if it cracks.
