Not really. Using the grip stretch tool you hit it with your leg just above the knee and kneeling on the carpet is just like kneeling down on any carpet. I can't speak as a pro though, I've laid about 30 carpets for friends and family because I bought the tools to do my own and word spread on how it was as good as pro fitting.

Absolutely right. A power stretcher not only STRETCHES the carpet but it is way better for your knees.

They guys that installed carpet in one of my bedrooms only used knee kickers. The carpet had ripples in less than a year. I rented a carpet stretcher and knee kicker earlier this week. I was able to re-stretch it and get the ripples out.

Because he's not really "stretching" the carpet. The only way to properly stretch carpet is with a power stretcher.

The only real way to STRETCH carpet is to use a power stretch. This is barely doing anything. In a couple of years past the warranty there will be wrinkles everywhere.

@@homeimprovements oh if you can deliver the power with a kicker your fine. If you do lots of carpet it just saves your knees and you can get a crain jr for like $500 US it would pay itself off in like 3 little jobs or 1 big job. My dad makes fun of me for using a power stretcher and i make fun of him for not being able to walk lmfao. Take it from someone whos lived in the industry.

@@garyb3689 every british floor installer is a hack. Just ask the finish carpenters and plumbers. No use a power stretcher you cant get a proper stretch with just your knee for runs over 12'. Whatever you stretch with ur knee i will do doube with a crain jr.. it will last longer aswell. Also kickers are for guys who spend all their power stretcher money on booze and hookers.

Isn’t solely using a knee stretcher the main reason most carpets wrinkle? I thought you needed a crab stretcher or adjustable stretcher to get it correct?

Is this task as easy as you make it look? We've just gotten the keys to our new home, and the floors are bare concrete floors. This means that we need to lay the carpets from scratch by ourselves. So I'm really glad that I just found your channel.
