Carpet Install..............

[swaptrex 10+ year member]

Recently i purchased brand new molded carpet from JCWhitney for my car, however none of the holes are cut, nor is it the right size............my question is what works well for cutting carpet this thick(it is very thick), besides a razor, and is there anywhere i could take it for them to cut it? i also have my old carpet which will help with some measurements.

That blade is for roofing and will ruin the carpet ends, I would use a standard razor knife.

These shears from Cutco are the best shears money can buy, PERIOD. They cut through my fiberglass mat like butter.

They can cut a penny in half, have a liftetime cutting edge garuntee, and won't cut skin...no //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bsflag.gif.21f42eccd34b7d1eb1608fb1b59b69c3.gif here, either.
