@@whoshatwat I think employing a bit of brain power would be good here. If you scrape metal on wood it will scratch the wood. You see the metal (usually steel) is a much harder substance.
@@ryancapewell6504 I’ve always used the back of a lino knife to tuck, but a lot of fitters use a stair tool like here, it’s all about the angle which you might not understand. What do you use?
As the guy who is sent to constantly restretch carpet that others have kicked, use the bloody power stretcher. It’s not that hard and doesn’t take long at all. Kickers are used for minor adjustments, setting walls. Not for completely stretching rooms.
Knee kickers just far positioning carpet Power stretcher stretcher's carpet stingers or Outlaw And a wall trimmers for trimming the Wall No doubt you will scar up Baseboard
Trimmers are shite!!! By the time you’ve set it to the correct height I’ve trimmed the whole room in because I’m highly skilled. I’ve worked with Americunts and I fit quicker, neater, tighter and overall a lot more pleasantly. I also get more tips than them.
@@homeimprovements of what ? A guy who doesn’t know how to do quality work ? Please . that’s what happens when you want to be at the pub by 4 o clock. how do you think just giving carpet a few kicks will stretch it 🤦♂️. I also seen how you install stairs and man 🤦♂️.

@@Apexjasonmorganllc yeah but why does he need a stretcher for that little boxed room ? Just kick it in like you mean it and move on to the next, fast also efficient, btw it helps to use a big kicker not some mini!
@@Summerlin866 you are arguing against common sense approach to carpet. You kick it. I’ll come behind with a power stretcher. A device made with a leverage handle designed to push off a solid wall. And I’ll stretch it and cut off carpet from the knee kicker supposedly “stretching” it. Come on man it goes against logic and physics
You didn't stretch anything, you kicked it in, that's called a kicker. Use the right tool for the right application. You don't have enough stretch in your carpet. If your on concrete, bring your poles out. Thank you for showing us all how to do it wrong
@@regjoe23rd professionally for 4 years. I was taught by 3 guys who installed for 30 years, so yes, I know what im talking about. Knee kicking carpet does NOT stretch the carpet enough to keep it tight longer then 3 months. Carpet stretchers are designed to "power stretch" and keep carpet tight for 10 years+
last step is scratching the fuck out of the wood
Proof?
I haven’t scratched anything yet.

No metal on woog will scratch it. Use a plastic wheel war roller. And for that matter a wall trimmer and a goddamn power stretcher @@whoshatwat
Two words: Power Stretcher.
Two more no thanks
@@homeimprovements Why not use the stretcher?
@@homeimprovements tell em 😂 we don’t need that that’s for people that dont know how to use a kicker 🤣🤣
One more. Ripples.
What are you on about ?
It's a normal room

Your stretching towards a set corner,all ur doing is creating a future wrinkles
Power stretcher ..better 😂
Not a power stretcher in site. Can’t stretch with a kicker
Then you're weak idk
@@Summerlin866 you can’t stretch like a stretcher with a kicker. Doesn’t matter how strong or big you are. Goes against everything sensible
@@Apexjasonmorganllc yeah but why does he need a stretcher for that little boxed room ? Just kick it in like you mean it and move on to the next, fast also efficient, btw it helps to use a big kicker not some mini!
@@Apexjasonmorganllc the real concern is that cut he made was dangerous !

Bro come on. Where's your pads at you'll blow your knees out on the kicker
We’ve pretty much retired from it now bud but your right we appreciate all the floor fitters out there it’s rough on your body this game 😊💪🏼

Don’t know how to stretch carpet
That is not stretching lol
Get knee pads on 😢😢
Dude that’s gonna wrinkle like hell you need a power stretcher please do it right
Does the carpetrepair guy know you are making carpet content? Was this video approved by the carpet godfather?
Watch your self man
🤣🤣
You don't use a knee kicker to stretch carpet not if you're any good
Be quite
He wants repeat business 😂
You use a knee kicker for small adjustments or stairs not for complete installation
Wall trimmer, power strecher!
These video are made for diyers and won’t want to pay £1000 to fit there own carpets
For the absolutely clueless dlcks amongst you
At least move the wardrobe out the room when you lay the carpet 🫣
Built in wardrobes you’ll do a job taking them out the room 🤣
@@homeimprovements They don’t look fitted to me, you can see it protrude past the bay 🤣
Butcher!
