I'm removing some wallpaper in my fathers home office right now.  Parents will be putting the family home of 30 years up for sale in about two years so gettting a early start on the facelift...why the hell did they decide to walpaper almost every room in the house.  :-\

That thing looks mean and a ton of work filling in all the holes it leaves behind....LOL

The depth is adjustable.

I haven't been able to find it on your web site.

I don't have it up there yet, Ed. I'll see if I can get it there tonight. I'm in the middle of receiving a pallet. The good new is that I got some more Kapexes on it.

does any one know what this does over one of those things you role around by hand with the little cutters on the bottom.

I am curious about the pole, does it unscrew and if so what size is the threading?

 

[Frank-Jan]

I think this thing would work much faster with less effort, does less damage to the surface underneath (due to the adjustable depth) and hopefully it won't make the screeching sound.

The pole is extendable, anywhere between 34-54" in length. It does not just unscrew if you're looking to use a standard extension pole. There's a Torx screw that holds it in and the head would need to be removed to even get to that screw, which I don't have the time to try at the moment. Needless to say, it's not as simply as unscrewing it and screwing in another pole.

Thanks Shane, that is exactly what I wanted to know. I do a couple wall paper removal jobs a year on average. A lot of the times I come in after the paper has been removed so I was wondering how versatile the pole was during the down times and also I was considering if the pole was damaged if the tool would then be dead in the water or if another pole would be usable in replacement of.

I just added The  TP 220, Wallpaper Perforator, to my website.

Will it take a 36 mm hose?

We have a Fakir that we have been waiting for an opportunity to test drive. Finally, we have two strip rooms coming up in the next 6 weeks or so.  It is a sharp tool, but just from noodling around with it I can see that its going to be alot more effective than the Paper Tiger, just by virtue of its design. It looks like the depth settings will be critical to prevent the need for a full on level 5 after the fact. Will update when we get into it.

It shouldn't need a hose. It is to make tears/pockets in the wall covering so you can soak the back if I understand it correctly. I am planning to get one and try it on the only wallpaper in my house, which is one wall of the foyer.

I have some of these TP 220, Wallpaper Perforators, now. They look pretty serious. The depth of the penetration is easily adjusted and there are a lot of really sharp, industrial-looking teeth. The pole is friendly telescopic.

They also come with a docking bay that protects personnel from the teeth when they aren't busy chewing up wall coverings. They look pretty cool.
