Jackrabbit Carpet Puller
By J.R. Bluett
Specialty tools are endless — pick some job that you know someone somewhere is going to have to do, and there’s a tool for it. If you need to remove institutional-grade glued-down carpet in the middle of the day at a school, or in the middle of the night in a maternity ward, you’ll probably want this quiet, glued-down-carpet puller.
Four feet long and weighing less than 20lbs, the Jackrabbit Carpet Puller is more portable and quieter than a motorized carpet destruction monstrosity, and it beats the hell out of pulling up narrow strips of carpet by hand. Plus you get to use a big lever to twist the covering right off the floor!
The only hit on street pricing is $430, but that’s a lot less expensive than the electric carpet puller I found on my new favorite flooring-tool retailer’s site.

I think I’d rather use the “motorized carpet destruction monstrosity.”

We use this tool on a regular basis, you just cant beat it on a unitary back carpet where the electric puller just shreds it. And what a time saver! We were in a room 20×20 and before we had the Jackrabbit it took us 7 hours to get it out, then we purchased the Jackrabbit with the same size room it was gone within a half an hour it was gone! I,ll take the Jackrabbit over the electric puller any day of the week and its guarenteed forever so its well worth the 430.
