Carpet Removal (Gripper)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- I realize that this has nothing to do with dentistry - however - I searched for hours to find something about removing these things and came up empty handed. We're moving the family and the BOSS wanted the carpets out - so - being the generalist that I am - I can do something simple like that. And it is easy - if you have time, patience, and a few simple tools. Of course, I'm not a carpenter or carpet disassembler person - however - the simplicity of carpet gripper removal is based on the type of wood those damned nails are hammered in to. One room took 2.5 hours and the other room took .5 hours - based on type of wood floor.

I cut my foot on a carpet gripper on 9th january 2018
I would recommend doing this work with shoes ON.
Today I stepped on a carpet gripper and it looks like a crack in my toe and there is blood stains around my house
wear shoes
I WISH I had a cup of tea -I'm on a timeline as established by the BOSS. With 3 young boys, I'm starting to wonder why I'm doing this.
So basically no better way than I was doing already 🤣🤣
Also put some shoes on Dude, these splinters and nails are vicious!
Actually I would recommend people use safety goggles, especially when pulling out of concrete floors, like I have had to do in my house, as the concrete literally explodes when pulling up the nails!
so helpful. Thank you so much. I don't think I'll be doing it barefoot though. Owe!!
Thanks. I too love your Chinese safety boots!
you just saved me!!!
What does this have to do with dentistry?
Clearly you haven't been to visit this dentist! He may use the same technique for molar removal! hehehehe 😁😁😂😂
I used a large flat screw driver and aimed it about 45 degree angle just beside the nail that goes into the floor, and under the gripper, and then hammered it in as far as it would go. That usually lifted the nail out of the floor. When it didn't, I'd just continue with the next nail in line. Eventually even the reluctant nail would lift out by itself. Very easy process once you get the hang of it :) Thanks for the video.
Hope you were careful with those bare feet and those tacks and nails around, Doc! Thanks for posting this!
all you need to do is tap the side with the hammer the nails become lose. with no damage and its fast
This just saved me hours! Thanks very much!
Good vid but ... hammering the side with a block of wood worked a treat. Ta!
Someone covered that beautiful floor with carpet? Nice info and video.
Thank you so much, seems silly but I've been unable to get the damned gripper up yet. Having seen you also struggled, but do have a system, I will have another go, starting with the flat screwdriver this time! Many thanks!
Thank you for your advice! I just ripped up all of my carpet and padding. I wasn't sure how to get the nasty grippers up! I have concrete that my grippers are nailed into. It's going to take some time getting these up. Thank you for your help!
Thank you sir
I use a Stanley wonder bar and lift the whole piece up, leaving it intact, pulling the nails out with board as I go.
Protip: Don't work barefoot on a floor where there are tons of nails and shards of wood... ;)
Really helpful video. Probably halved the time I would of got this done in. Thank you
Mike Griffiths glad it helped!
AHHH nothing like having a cup of tea while working on this
thx for the tips btw
Very clever doing it barefoot
Put some gloves on too...!
*Works great for our needs.*
Works for me bro (Jan 2020)
You're a legend mate
What is the tool you used to lift out the nails called please? I need to get one! Thanks.
Better late than never, it's a mini crowbar
Great method, thanks.
Brilliant, thank you sir!
