Purpose and User
The Heritage GP718CB is a curved-handle, blunt-tip shear designed for carpet-mill work. It suits installers who need flush trimming of pile or cuts along baseboards. The 8-7/8-inch forged steel construction gives the reach and strength that trade use demands.
What the Design Changes
Curved handles shift the hand position for steadier control during long trimming runs. Blunt tips prevent snagging or gouging the subfloor when the blade slides against a baseboard. Hot drop-forged, chrome-over-nickel plating resists corrosion and keeps the cutting edges aligned through repeated heavy use.
Practical Limits
The tool is a manual shear, so cutting speed and force depend entirely on the operator. It is not suited for thick padding, hard-backed vinyl or metal-reinforced seams. California Proposition 65 notices apply because the plated steel contains listed chemicals.

Questions about this item
Will the chrome-over-nickel plating on the GP718CB blades need re-coating after heavy use?
The drop-forged, heat-treated carbon steel blades carry a chrome-over-nickel finish that resists corrosion; if the plating eventually wears through, the underlying steel can be lightly oiled to prevent rust.
What stops the GP718CB from cutting cleanly during a long carpet-trimming session?
The blunt-tip design limits the shear to flush pile trimming and baseboard cuts; once the edge dulls from abrasive fibres, cutting quality drops until the blades are re-sharpened.
Do the curved handles of the GP718CB get hot or slippery when used all day?
The forged steel handles transmit ambient temperature and offer no insulated grip, so they can feel cold or warm depending on the room and may become slick with sweat during extended use.
