Seam Weight # 612-sw

The Seam Weight has a perforated white plastic base with an air space between the base and steel weight to allow heat and moisture to quickly dissipate. It performs better than a tool box tray because it exerts uniform pressure without discoloration caused by heat retention or by a rusty tool box tray. The white plastic base glides smoothly over the carpet and won’t snag like a plywood base or tool box tray can. Can be used on seams made with 3″ or 6″ wide hot melt tape. Measures 6″ wide x 12″ long x 3-1/4″ high. Weighs 16 lbs.

Carpet tractor #476

These amazing tools can obscure carpet seams—even badly cut seams—with much less time and effort than any other method. The top performance of the Carpet Tractors results from their unique, patented three row offset roller action. The 1-1/4″ diameter rollers are set in staggered 3″ wide rows to provide a twirling action that blends the nap to effectively hide seams. For use with all types of seaming and bonding methods, Carpet Tractors are ideal for hot melt seaming work.
