Check the fit

Check depth on the actual backing and compare the blade holder with your spares. For a nylon single-blade tool intended for top and bottom cuts, compare Capitol's 110552 instead.

When to choose it

Choose the 110551 when the carpet has cushioned backing and you want to set blade projection with a thumb screw. Its extended nose follows the row ahead of the blade, useful when the visible row is the guide for your cut.
