Carpet Removal (Gripper)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2024
- I realize that this has nothing to do with dentistry - however - I searched for hours to find something about removing these things and came up empty handed. We're moving the family and the BOSS wanted the carpets out - so - being the generalist that I am - I can do something simple like that. And it is easy - if you have time, patience, and a few simple tools. Of course, I'm not a carpenter or carpet disassembler person - however - the simplicity of carpet gripper removal is based on the type of wood those damned nails are hammered in to. One room took 2.5 hours and the other room took .5 hours - based on type of wood floor.

This just saved me hours! Thanks very much!
I used a large flat screw driver and aimed it about 45 degree angle just beside the nail that goes into the floor, and under the gripper, and then hammered it in as far as it would go. That usually lifted the nail out of the floor. When it didn't, I'd just continue with the next nail in line. Eventually even the reluctant nail would lift out by itself. Very easy process once you get the hang of it :) Thanks for the video.
so helpful. Thank you so much. I don't think I'll be doing it barefoot though. Owe!!
Thank you for your advice! I just ripped up all of my carpet and padding. I wasn't sure how to get the nasty grippers up! I have concrete that my grippers are nailed into. It's going to take some time getting these up. Thank you for your help!
So basically no better way than I was doing already 🤣🤣
Also put some shoes on Dude, these splinters and nails are vicious!
Actually I would recommend people use safety goggles, especially when pulling out of concrete floors, like I have had to do in my house, as the concrete literally explodes when pulling up the nails!
I would recommend doing this work with shoes ON.
Thanks. I too love your Chinese safety boots!
Really helpful video. Probably halved the time I would of got this done in. Thank you
Mike Griffiths glad it helped!
*Works great for our needs.*
you just saved me!!!
Thank you so much, seems silly but I've been unable to get the damned gripper up yet. Having seen you also struggled, but do have a system, I will have another go, starting with the flat screwdriver this time! Many thanks!
I WISH I had a cup of tea -I'm on a timeline as established by the BOSS. With 3 young boys, I'm starting to wonder why I'm doing this.
Someone covered that beautiful floor with carpet? Nice info and video.
AHHH nothing like having a cup of tea while working on this
thx for the tips btw
You're a legend mate
I cut my foot on a carpet gripper on 9th january 2018
Good vid but ... hammering the side with a block of wood worked a treat. Ta!
I use a Stanley wonder bar and lift the whole piece up, leaving it intact, pulling the nails out with board as I go.
What does this have to do with dentistry?
Clearly you haven't been to visit this dentist! He may use the same technique for molar removal! hehehehe 😁😁😂😂
all you need to do is tap the side with the hammer the nails become lose. with no damage and its fast
Thank you sir
Hope you were careful with those bare feet and those tacks and nails around, Doc! Thanks for posting this!
Today I stepped on a carpet gripper and it looks like a crack in my toe and there is blood stains around my house
wear shoes
Brilliant, thank you sir!
Very clever doing it barefoot
Works for me bro (Jan 2020)
Great method, thanks.
What is the tool you used to lift out the nails called please? I need to get one! Thanks.
Better late than never, it's a mini crowbar
Protip: Don't work barefoot on a floor where there are tons of nails and shards of wood... ;)
Put some gloves on too...!
