The Tufting Gun That Started It All
The AK-1N is our original all-in-one tufting gun — the machine thousands of makers have relied on since 2019 to tuft their first rug and their hundredth. Lightweight, dependable, and easy to live with, it does cut and loop in one tool and keeps going session after session. If you want a proven workhorse rather than the newest thing on the shelf, this is it.
For beginners and pros alike
Whether you’re starting your first rug or running steady production, the AK-1N handles it. Intuitive controls, a comfortable grip, and a forgiving learning curve make it the gun most tufters learn on — and many never feel the need to replace. New to tufting? Our easy-to-follow online guides walk you through every step.

Key Features
Cut & loop in one tool
Switch between cut and loop pile in seconds — remove a single screw to swap the element, no dismantling. Ships ready to tuft out of the box. Maintenance is simple: brush off dust and oil the moving parts now and then.
Variable speed control
A dial on the handle lets you ease off for detailed areas or open up to fill large fields fast — full control, your pace.
Lightweight and comfortable
At just 1.4 kg it’s one of the lightest tufting guns made, built for long sessions without hand fatigue. The bright pink finish doesn’t hurt either.
