Worked great. Never used one before, but this one performed just as advertised. Much better quality than I expected for the price. Will definitely be shopping here again.
If you watch professionals use this product, you get the feeling that you can use it too. However, don't be fooled. The professionals know what they are doing and they do it all day. This installer takes a heck of a kick to tighten the carpet adequately. It would probably work much better (for the novice or lightweight) if used in conjunction with a carpet stretcher (I mean the long bar that has digger teeth on both ends and can be leveraged to stretch the larger cross section of the carpet). Personally, I was not able to get the most out of this equipment. But, a larger installer with a good hefty kick would probably be very happy with it. I have not been able to compare it with other, perhaps more expensive and efficient brands.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Exact match
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The equipment is strong and able to do the job...that is, if the installer is up to it on his end.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Description was correct and complete
Not intended for heavy-duty use, but if you like to stretch and reset your carpets (improve appearance and lengthen life), this is an easy choice. Costs less to buy than to rent once from a big-box store.
This tool will work for the occasional user. We had flood damage to a carpet and had to pull it back to dry. My choice was either rent a kicker or for about twice the price buy one. This should work well a time or two and save money in the long run
It was nice to receive a product that worked well with no problems at a price that makes it worth buying so the job could be done without spending a fortune to hire it done
I was expecting less quality for the price but was very surpised that te kicker was well build and durable. I am not in the carpet business but this sure beats renting one for occasional use, because I now own it for about the same money as renting one!!
I ordered the GRIP Knee Kicker Carpet Installer and it was shipped on time, I was surprised when I opened the box, It was a very good value for the price. I would recommend it to any one.. Overstock is the best.
Product met my expectation considering the price. The product could damage a carpet if not used sensibly.
Had some buckling in the carpet in the toyroom and was dreading the cost to call in a carpet installer to re-stretch it. Saw this and was delighted so ordered it, husband fixed the carpet and I'm telling everyone I know about this product. Thanks for having this life saver here!!
great product, great price, GREAT SERVICE I would recommend this product andyour company to a friend. THANKS
This knee kicker worked perfectly to stretch my carpet after having it cleaned. I would definitely recommend this product.
As the saying goes - you get what you pay for. The item does the job , but -do to its design -one must be carefull while installing carpet. The grip kicker has sharp teeth instead of small pins that are found on professional models. These teeth on the main pad can not be adjusted and therefore can cut through the carpet requiring repair to the carpet. The main pins can be adjusted , but care must be taken while using the kicker. Finally - the knee pad on the kicker is not firmly attached. After one installation the pad came free from the tool. Use caution with this tool.
Useful product at half the price of similar in local hardware chain store. Happy buyer.
I was very impressed with the value of this product. The local hardware store wanted $25.00 for a rental. So this really made sense to buy.
Half the price and works as well as the one from the warehouse home improvement stores.
Very nice, heavy-duty product. Just like the pro's use when they install carpets. I bought this because we have a number of carpets that have had to be re-stretched over the years. I have been very pleased with the ease and quality of this item.
This is a very stable product and nicer than I expected for the price. I just had some small areas of my carpet that needed to be fixed and this kicker worked great for a great price.
Good quality for the price. Excellent delivery and service. Only negative was strong smoke odor from box and pad on item. Left in garage until odor subsided.
