It is called Wilton everywhere as that refers to the manufacturer that developed that type of carpet. It is however not a true Wilton as they are high end carpets and that clearly isn't. Genuine Wilton is also easy to stretch, cut and fit for a good fitter. Lastly, in a high end installation you would never cut with a hook or scrape your bolster against the skirting, it marks it.
Hello, I am looking for high quality hook to cut thick carpet, I need wide hook, which ones do you think are the best? What brand ? Thank you so much !
I must be very old shool, because I would never fit an Axi or Wilton without latexing the back and double gripper, doubt carpets fitters these days have ever heard of Copydex.
Would you be able to explain a little more on how the knife angle determines the correct cut , I'm guessing the more vertical the knife is the knife is the less you have to tuck behind the gripper?
peter fido the knife would have to be at a vertical position as it’s it straight you will damage the skirting. The way you determine whether you want enough to tuck in or leave it short etc then this judged by the height of your knife the higher you bring it up the more you have left the lower you bring it down the less carpet you have. Bit tricky to understand but once you get the hang of it you’ll be fine ! Also just a side tip if you’re fitting carpet it’s always best to stretch on to the grippers 1st and then trim and tuck accordingly. (Side note )

Cutting with a hook don’t mark the skirting. That’s if you know how to use it.
interesting video thanks for posting, thats a very sharp blade too what brand are you using - wilton is a beast on the blades, same as axminster !
Thanks broda you the man 👍🏻
How do you not scratch the skirting ?
Hope you double back to the gripper carpet fitter myself with Wiltons you have to I find cutting straight blade easier
You know there is such a cutter as it's called A Roberts Edge cutter would have to mess around with different type of blades
It’s what I’ve been using for over 30 years. You just get a feel with a hooked blade. Customers would look at the blade and wonder what it was 😂
What blades do you use as I currently use Janser green box and wondered what you guys use

Waist of time with all the shite we fit nowadays
Why didnt u double gripper n latex?
Latex the tuck? Stop sniffing glue, young man. You don't know what you're about.
@@justinwhite5115 I'm a secret lemonade drinker...
Can you show angle of nose next to baseboard to see. I am afraid of scratching it if i do that.
frijolito2123 if you see my other video I have it there in more detail
@@TrimTuckCarpets the one that shows the 3 different ways?
@@TrimTuckCarpets but not on the hook blade. And that Is the one i am interested in. Thanks

Nice video what knife do you reccomend, I have never seen one cut so smooth and easily.
boxofwisdow thanks man, I only use one knife which is either called marlin, shark or dolphin. It’s more the angle of cutting that matters tbh
Ulay for knee pads lol
Do you have a little Lebanese in you
mo ajram no my friend lol
