Professional Carpet Shear
The Heritage GP717C is a carpet napping shear built for installers and finishers who need clean flush cuts along baseboards or seams. Curved handles keep the wrist neutral during long runs. Hot-drop-forged carbon steel with chrome-over-nickel plating resists corrosion on job sites.
Build and Daily Use
Forged construction eliminates flex when blades meet dense pile. Chrome-over-nickel finish wipes clean after contact with adhesives or latex backing. Ambidextrous curved handles suit left- or right-handed operators without re-gripping. Sharp tips reach tight corners where rotary cutters cannot.
Practical Limits
Blades are sized for carpet pile and light fabric; they will not cut heavy padding, vinyl flooring or abrasive composites. Proposition 65 notice applies to the plating chemistry. No replaceable blades or tension adjustment are provided, so dulling means full replacement.
