The Stand-Up Cutter slices glued-down carpet into narrow strips for faster removal, and works great for rapid rough cutting of carpet off the roll. It comes with a sharp, hardened steel point with a precision-machined slot for guiding a utility blade. The point easily punctures the glued-down carpet for fast starts. Afterwards, as the point is pushed, it rides on the subfloor and lifts the carpet to the utility blade where it is cut. The heavy-duty fiberglass handle telescopes in length from 50″ to 85″ to maintain optimal cutting angle, and double locks for safety. Takes standard utility blades or hook blades.
