The Economy Knee Kicker secures carpet during installation and makes it easy to fix loose carpet. This positioning tool is designed for use with low-profile carpet, and features teeth angled forward to help grip and hold the carpet. The teeth are not straight, because this kicker is not intended to pull or stretch carpet to remove wrinkles. The thick foam-filled bumper pad and nonslip, comfort foam grip handle make this knee kicker comfortable to use. It is ideal for small installations, to fix loose carpet, and to use in hallways and closets. Lightweight aluminum and steel construction.
- Lets you tighten loose carpet or install carpet in small spaces
- Aluminum and steel construction for durability
- Features a comfort grip handle
