The traditional way to remove carpet fasteners (likely referring to tack strips) involves using a pry bar while on your hands and knees.
Based on the very limited reference, here's a basic approach:
- Gear Up: Wear gloves to protect your hands from the tack strip's sharp tacks and potential splinters. The YouTube video excerpt notes that the task can be hard on the hands.
- Pry Bar Placement: Position the pry bar beneath the tack strip.
- Leverage: Apply leverage to pry the tack strip away from the floor.
Without more context (like the specific type of fastener or the subfloor material), it's difficult to provide a more detailed answer. Common tools used include a pry bar, a hammer (to tap the pry bar), and safety glasses.
