Is this good for cutting carpet?

While these are excellent scissors, they are not designed to cut something as thick or durable as carpet. They will work for a very minimal amount of cutting, but if you have a fair amount to do, I would not choose them for the job.

Yes! It also cuts a lot of everything else due to it open blade configuration. Very low drag on blade

Absolutely. I have used these shears to cut carpet padding and carpet easily. The only down side is that individual threads from the carpet tend to lodge between the blades. If that happens, they don't cut anymore. Its hard to tell when it happens, and its even harder to get the lint out from between the blades. When I made a 30' cut through thin carpet recently, I had to stop about 3 times to pull threads out from between the blades. Kind of frustrating.

The reviewer I believe is wrong, it is very good on carpets for quick jobs. If you need to clean the carpet 100% than you need a bigger vacuum cleaner for a non-rush job.

I would say yes. We have use it for various household tasks including flooring and trim others and have had no problems in the last few months we have owned this.

I only have carpet in the house. But I would so no. It is all plastic on the bottom and it is rounded off. Have never seen a sharp edge on this.

Yes. It should help to move small pieces from the depths of the carpet. The teeth are close together.

I was able to cut mine. I just made sure that my utility knife had a brand new blade in it. I put it on something that I did not mind being cut up so I could push the knife blade all the through with one swoop, rather than having to take many slices at it. You could try your scissors as well, but first try short of the line to see how it is going to work. Those should also be really sharp. Another thing you could do is take it into your local carpet place, offer them 10 bucks for a 5 minute job, and they might not even take your money. Hope this has been helpful!

I agree with the other commenter...This is would not be an ideal choice for rugs/carpet. It does a great job picking up small debris on tile and hardwood flooring as well as food crumbs, etc. on upholstered furniture when used as a hand vac.

it's designed for light duty, for small area of carpet, it works fine, but I would not recommend this for carpet.

This thing can clip through carpet I swear. I'm so glad I spent the extra money on it, I bought some POS from Walmart and returned it that day. I did my research on it and I only read good reviews. It's worth it.

Yes. That's all I use it for. Works really well on certain rubber floors and carpet. Not sure about wood though.

I've never used it on carpet as I have very little carpet in my house and no pets, but the ingredients are not caustic so I believe it would be fine for carpets.

There is no need to cut the carpet. You just lay the mats down on top. DON'T CUT YOUR CAR!!

No. This is pretty useless for picking up cat hair on carpet---disappointing.

Works just fine on carpet actually you might prefer carpet. on wood and tile it can be a bit of a racket
