Is there a carpet cutter (electric or batteries) that will do the following? I want to remove carpeting in a house, and want to cut it up into smaller pieces re ease of handling and lifting. I can use a box cutter or such, but thought that something in the powered mode would be faster and easier on my back. Patt.
Good, strong razor knife goes thru carpet real slick.

I agree... Assuming that it's a jute-backed carpet flip it over and run the blade down the back. It will separate quite easily.

and make sure you have a large quantity of blades too........... No sense spending the extra energy trying to cut wit a dull blade. Change blades often. You'll know when you need a new blade and don;t go thinking you're goin' broke on blades. I would think it'd take no more than 10 dollars worth of new blades to cut an entire housefull of carpet into 1 foot squares if that's your fancy.

I agree. Cut from the back side and not toward yourself. Goes quickly with a nice sharp knife.
Yes, the razor knife, or box cutter, also has several blades in the storage handle. The original blade can be touched up on a stone with just a couple of passes too. Could last a long time that way. Most carpet installers use these knives.
Don't use a box cutter. Get a real carpet knife and a pack of blades. ($5-$10 max.)
It's much stronger and will work great on heavy carpet.
