Choosing the Right Tufting Gun for You
We recommend the AK-I for beginners due to its simple design and a pile height range of 7-21mm. The AK Duo offers versatility with both cut and loop capabilities and a pile height range of 5-18mm. For those in need of a stronger motor, the ZQ and KRD machines may be a better fit. Pneumatic machines like the AK III and ZQ III are recommended for high pile rugs.
