Why You'll Reach for It Every Time

A proper carpet bolster chisel is the difference between a carpet that looks neatly installed and one that starts lifting within weeks. The flat, bevelled blade slides under carpet edges cleanly, reducing the risk of tearing the pile or scuffing skirting boards — a must-have in any serious DIYer's or professional fitter's kit.
