Carpet Tools by Bullet Tools

2007-12-19T19:33:00.000-08:00

One of the neatest carpet tools you need to add to your work van is the Seam Jet carpet seaming iron #212 by Bullet Tools. This is a must for your flooring tool collection.

The Seam Jet is a full featured, fully grooved, standard iron featuring new EvnSeam Technology.

This EvnSeam Technology makes the Seam Jet unique from other irons in that it has a second heating element that is powered on all of the time (patented). This second heater slows the cooling of the iron and allows the thermostat more time to respond to cooling. The result is an iron that holds tighter temperature control than standard irons, allowing installers to close seams faster with less damage to carpet fibers.

Roberts Carpet Stretcher heads back to Double Case

2007-02-19T19:39:00.000-08:00

The 10-254V is hitting the market with a bang. We have been waiting for this to happen! Roberts leans back into the double case carpet stretcher. The 10-254V now has one main body case which holds the stretcher unit, along with tubes and accessories, and the second case is a smaller tube case that can hold up to 4 tubes. The old stretcher case, the 10-237-40 should be faded out...which is not a bad thing...it hosted tons of poor design, which did not allow it to hold up. The new version of the 10-254V (2007) is by far, the BEST CARPET STRETCHER to hit the market. Eat it up...this one will go fast!

Orcon Carpet Tools tool box

2005-04-15T15:39:00.000-07:00

We have gotten a lot of positive feedback on the new Orcon #13270 Multi Purpose Tool Box. This tool box has wheels and a seam weight. You can use your vented inner tray as a seam weight when installing carpet.
This tool box is an excellent item. The tool box sells for a little more than what most installers have paid for a nice seam weight. As of now, Orcon is struggling to keep up on the increasing demand for this fine item.
