Selected User Reviews For QEP 10408 Economy Knee Kicker
Through some trial and error, we were able to improve our stretching. As well as stretching, I'm going to stretch in other areas of the house. Of course, one of those power stretchers would be more practical, but this is a good way to save money. A recommendation for anyone new to carpet stretching with a kicker is to wear jeans or long pants that are durable. When I wore shorts, I got a pretty bad rug burn on my knee. You may also find a rubber mallet to be useful in tight spaces where it is difficult to kick with your leg back.
These were the kinds of things I used to make when I was 19. My boss called me when she was having problems with her carpet, and I responded, "I can do that - just find a kicker. ". Our carpet was damaged, so we bought one and fixed it. Please take note In case your carpet needs to be stretched again, this method might be appropriate If you prefer, you can get the other model that expands and allows you to use a wall as a.
As someone who works in the building industry, I can conclude that this product cannot be used for new installations or thick carpets. There is no extension to change the kicker's length or teeth adjuster on this particular kicker. If you are not an average height, you should consider an extension. A thick carpet's teeth cannot hold as tight as they should so it cannot properly "bite" into it. In the end, I managed to accomplish the task under great stress.
I like the way this works. Although this is not a carpet spreader, it is a decent option for carpet repairs and re-installation The stretching process. In my experience, this tool isn't a good choice for a new installation, but I used it to reinstall The carpet will be attached to the tac strip after it has been pulled My job required me to pull up the carpet so that I could run some wires around the room.
I think this was a very good value compared to many other options out there. There were a few small areas / fixes that worked. Designed more for flooring purposes, not exactly for major installation, although if you were in a bind and needed to lay down a new carpet you would be able to make do with this A closet or the interior of a remodeled living space would be ideal for this. A loose carpet needed to be stretched and fixed.
Do not expect much from a $30 kicker, it is small, has no adjustment, and the pad is very stiff, but if you need to stretch a room occasionally this is a little kicker, do not use this as your only kicker if there will be many installations!.
Without this knee kicker, it was impossible to put the carpet back in place. In case you need to take your carpet back into place, this is the best option you can choose. Easy and inexpensive to fix, it can be used by anyone. You'd be much better off stretching your carpet yourself than hiring someone to do it for you.
My first experience with one of these devices was when I stretched my carpet by myself after installing bamboo flooring adjacent to existing carpet. After much research and watching online videos, I chose to do this by myself. It was the reviews on this item that convinced me to buy it. I like this knee kicker because it's an economy option and it wasn't too difficult of a project.
