It's easy to use and does the job. I used it to carpet my deck, 12 x 32.

Kicker met my needs. This was a one shot use to stop a squeaky sub floor. Kicker met expecations.

Ordered this Knee Kicker to stretch the carpet in our home after a few years of use. Found it doesn't work particularly well on Berber Carpet. Not the fault of the stretcher, just that the Berber is so tough this Knee Kicker can't be expected to stretch it properly. I'm not a carpet installer, so if I had it to do over, and had learned faster, I would have purchased the Lever Operated Stretcher, also sold Amazon. Get the one that includes 4 Bars, Carpet Head, Bracing Foot 23"-59" adjustable length with 4 attachable bars with the back brace to place against a wall. This unit has a lever action that stretches carpet without having to use your knee. Live and learn. I got so aggressive trying to stretch my carpet that I cracked the cast aluminum on the kicker head. Surprised I didn't crack my knee cap. Live and learn. We always do.
