Pressed Particle Board Shelving Warning

It's a tool, a lot like the ones that carpet fitters use to stretch a fitted
carpet, that has two sets of spikes protruding from the base. You grip the
carpet by hitting the tile at an angle with the tool . Surprisingly
effective. There is also a lever in the handle to put more tension in the
grip of the spikes. Haven't seen it in use for a while as there aren't any
carpet tiles with us. ( We're not posh enough , obviously.)

Geoff.
