Stand up and work
The cutting happens at the floor while you stay at full height. Your crew walks the room instead of crawling it.
Work smarter, not harder.
Stop crawling.
Start pulling.
The Pro-Assist Carpet Strip Cutter slices glued-down carpet into narrow strips while you walk it across the floor standing upright. No more crawling on your hands and knees with a razor knife. Just cut, grab, and pull.

One pass. Clean seam. Strip comes up.
How it works
Cut it standing. Pull it standing.
Tearing out glued-down carpet usually means crawling the floor with a utility knife, scoring strips by hand. The Pro-Assist Carpet Strip Cutter takes the knife work off your knees.
-
01
Walk it across the floor
Hold the double-loop grip and drag the cutter behind you at a normal walking pace, standing upright the whole time.
-
02
Weighted blade slices the carpet
Stacked steel weight plates press the blade head into the carpet as it rolls on twin wheels, cutting a clean line through glued-down carpet.
-
03
Grab the strip and pull
Make parallel passes to break the room into narrow strips. A narrow strip gives the glue less to hold, so it peels up while you stay on your feet.

Why crews want it
Less crawling. More pulling. Faster tear-outs.
Narrow strips, easy pulls
Cutting the field into narrow strips is what makes glued carpet manageable. Each strip is lighter and easier to peel and roll.
Simple, tough, no power
Welded steel, powder coat, wheels, weight, and a blade. Nothing to plug in or charge, as shown in the footage.
Time back on every job
Every square foot you don't score by hand is time back. Run your own numbers in the calculator below.

Your body is your best tool
Save your knees. Save your back. Keep your hands out of it.
Knees off the floor
Hand-cutting strips means hours of kneeling on a hard, glue-covered floor. With the cutter, the blade is on the floor and you aren't.
Upright posture
Walking the tool across the room keeps you standing instead of bent over and crawling, so there's less strain from hunched, awkward positions.
No razor knife at your hands
The blade rides in a clamp at the floor, not in your fist next to your other hand. Less hand-knife scoring means fewer chances for a slip.
Fresher crews, longer careers
Less time on the knees and less hand-scoring means less wear on the body at the end of every tear-out.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Do I pay anything to pre-order?
No. No payment is taken now. Submitting the form puts you on the pre-order list, and we will contact you upon the beginning of full production.
What does it cost?
The list price is $499.99 (USD). Shipping and taxes, if any, will be confirmed when we contact you at the start of full production.
What is it for?
Tear-out of glued-down carpet. You drag it across the floor standing up, and the weighted blade head slices the carpet into narrow strips that are much easier to pull up than a full-width section.
Does it need power or batteries?
No. As shown in the footage, it's a manual walk-behind tool: steel, wheels, weight plates, and a blade.
What kind of carpet has it been used on?
The footage on this page shows it on glued-down commercial carpet in an office space. If you have a different floor in mind, send us a message in the pre-order form.
How wide are the strips?
You set strip width by how far apart you make your passes. Official blade and strip-width specs will be published before full production.
How does it fit with my ride-on scraper?
The cutter handles the cutting step. The footage shows it on the same job as a ride-on floor scraper, and narrow pre-cut strips are easier to handle whether you pull them by hand or with your equipment.
When will it ship?
We will contact you upon the beginning of full production with timing, final details, and how to complete your order.
