Is this limited to thick pile or can it work just as well with short (1/4) pile?

does not stay in place on thick carpet,but should work fine on short carpet.

No, but the roller brush does pull it along on shorter pile carpets. It can be harder to push through really deep shag. I recommend shorter pile carpets & hard floors for this.

I have short pile , I think the call it berber style carpet and will work on it but I prefer to use it on my bathroom tile.

I used mine to install an above ground hoist on 4 inch steel reinforced concrete floor. It drilled 10 5/8 inch holes with out a problem. I am not sure how much larger bit a 1/2 inch drill will hold but con considerably more.

great question! I have plush carpets in my home including a rug with almost 2 inch pile. it works wonderfully on my thick carpet. it has no problem gliding across it and pulling up all the dirt and hair. I was most impressed by the fact that it worked awesome on my rug. because the rug is so thick, there's going to be some resistance, but It is the first vacuum that could handle moving across the rug without the beaters getting tangled in a pile. when comparing my other vacuums it seems that the bristles on the beater are shorter which is why it works so well in carpets like this. definitely worth it.

The scooper holds several "piles" at a time, depending on the size. Just tilt it slightly while picking up a new pile and the previous pile will not fall out.

The practical answer is 4 1/2" material is too large. If the material was 4", then it would be less "impossible". The hang-up would be: clamping the material to the box to hold it steady and supporting the length of the material. This box is just not designed to do this job. Having said that, I love a challenge: you might find a way to hold the material steady using clamps and setting up a temporary jig. I'm not suggesting this, but I would probably try since I own the box already. The best answer I can give you is this: this tool was never designed to do the kind of job you are contemplating. I suggest you go another route.

It works ok on our short pile (maybe 3/8") carpet. On a tight weave rug it should be fine. It works best on hard floors.

One of the best I've ever used. All I know is that it sinks my 1/4 inch staples better and more consistently than others. I believe it will do fine for what you're planning.

Not exactly sure what high pile carpet is but we have the thick lush carpet and it works great on it.

No, I doubt it. I would say the materials you mentioned are much to thick. It would however work for a variety of things no thicker than about 1/8 in thickness.

Yes but depending on the size of your arbor it might not accept more than a half inch of the stack

It was specifically designed to work with really thick carpets. Ours is as thick as they can make it and it works terrific. There are two power settings so it can also be used on thin carpets, like a silk one we own, as well as hard floors. It is so light we can carry it up a narrow circular staircase without a problem.

I have not tried it on anything really thick yet, but I feel it would be able to get the job done. The variable speed of this unit should make it capable of the job.

I had no problem nailing that thick a wood on my floor molding. I would suggest using the longer nail.

Mine is mounted in a door 2" thick. I think the shoulders alone add up to more than 3/4". In my opinion, no, 1/4" is too thin. Hope this is helpful.

This should work because you wrap the bag around the base of the pile and then wrap the Velcro around it. I filled mine with plastic ziplock bags of sand. You could also lay the other weights on the base for extra stability.
