Control before complexity
A tufting gun that lets beginners focus on the rug.

It is the core gun used across our rug-making kits and reflects what we value when helping first-time makers learn steady lines and confident fills.

Tufting-gun questions
Choose once. Start confidently.
What is the Green AK‑V Pro Tufting Gun?
The Tuft & Craft Green AK‑V Pro is a $309 AUD adjustable-speed tufting gun for beginners and returning rug makers. This page offers the green gun in cut-pile or loop-pile configurations.
Is the AK‑V Pro suitable for beginners?
Yes. Adjustable speed and a digital LED display help new makers begin slowly and check their setting without guesswork.
Should a beginner choose cut pile or loop pile?
Choose cut pile for the familiar soft, clipped rug surface. Choose loop pile if you specifically want visible, uncut loops and a more structured texture.
Can one variant switch between cut pile and loop pile?
The product is sold as separate cut-pile and loop-pile configurations. Select the pile style you want before adding the gun to your cart.
Will I receive the colour shown?
Yes. This product page is specifically for the Green AK‑V Pro. Select only your preferred pile style before adding it to the cart.
What else do I need to make a rug?
You also need a sturdy tufting frame, primary tufting cloth, suitable yarn, backing and finishing supplies. A complete rug kit is simpler if you do not own these items.
