Key Benefits
- Center row guide keeps the blade away from offset yarns at hydra-shift stopovers, reducing unsightly sheared seams
- Wide base holds the blade perpendicular to the yarns for cleaner, straighter cuts
- Converts to a Z-bar trimmer by swapping in standard utility blades, with base edges providing variable guidance for the amount of carpet tucked under the Z-bar
- Converts to a vinyl molding trimmer by removing a base section, with an interior slot positioning utility blades for a proper tuck under the molding
