Will it cut through good quality Carpet padding?

I would agree that these shears are very sharp and it would not be difficult to cut through carpet padding.

I would think so, these are pretty strong, sharp and so easy and comfortable to use.

I have cut through 1.5 mm stainless mesh with ease.So carpet padding will be a walk in the park!!

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.

I've liked the stapler, found it to be well made and comfortable in hand, but I've only used it for tacking up insulation. It is pretty strong, but I'm not sure if it will go through carpeting

Yes, but be careful with hitting stuff, because the blade is not good quality.

It is sharp enough and strong enough to cut ordinary carpet, but only for occasional use. It certainly isn'y for regular job-related use.

Yes, it will cut through anything that a regular utility knife will cut. It uses standard utility knife blades.

I haven't tried, but I doubt scissors could do the job. The pad is about 1/16 of an inch thick, but it is soft flexible material. You might be able to cut through it with a box cutter or other razor type knife, but it would take several passes, and you would lose the pad's nice rounded corners.

Yes. I used it to cut through my metal bike u-lock. Make sure to wear safety goggles!

Perhaps not since it takes strength to cut through steel. It depends what you are cutting, too. This is a wonderful tool since it will cut through steel that is half inch in width.

Probably so. However, I would prefer the serrated version. Makes it easier to saw through material easier.

Not sure about cutting it but it's thin enough to cut. We put a thin piece of laminate under it for more floor protection from chair wheels.

It will but not easily. I purchasing for the same thing and because the tiles were very small I frequently cut my fingers. Wasn't long before I went out and bought a wet tile saw which is what I should have done in the first place. This cutter is best used for solid one-piece tiles.

The blades are pretty sharp, and I am able to cut 2-3 pieces of card stock at once. I'm guessing it should cut felt with no problem.

that is what I bought it for and it does a fairly good job --but if your carpet is already really damaged it will only do so much. Still, I am happy with my purchase!

It will cut it easily. I've cut thicker material but if you plan on cutting a lot of heavy material you may consider a bigger machine.

Yes but you have to pull the blade on the cutter out a little further. If you don't it will cut through just far enough to leave a skim of paper which when you try to fix it mucks up the mat. This thing will cut a real nice mat but there is a learning curve and even thereafter it's easy to screw it up if you're not careful. Overall I am happy with it. It does the job and was affordable. Once you have a feel for how the blade has to be fiddled with its fine. If you pull the blade out to far it will overcut

No, it's just an exacto-knife that gets hot. It's good for cutting/melting through plastic with precision. Not what you want for carpet. Better off with a utility knife.

The mat is made of a rubber material so it can be cut, but I think cutting it will leave jagged, unfinished edges depending on which edge you choose to cut along.
