Wasted $400 on a cheap seam iron and it melted after 3 jobs
I figured I'd save some money and bought a no-name seam iron off Amazon for like $80. Big mistake. It worked okay for the first two carpet jobs but on the third one the handle literally started smoking and then the whole thing just quit. I lost a full day of work waiting for it to cool down and then having to drive to the supply house to grab a real one from Roberts that cost me $320. So now I'm out the $80 plus the time plus the gas money all because I tried to cut a corner. Has anyone else had a cheap tool totally fail on them mid-install?
