Roberts Carpet Tools Deluxe Knee Kicker 10-412-2, Silver

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I’ve always used this tool

Very good

First: I'm a carpet rookie. We have a remote cabin where it is hard to get tradespeople to do work, so i decided to install one room of carpet myself. I wanted to give myself every advantage so i bought this kick tool and the carpet knife also. Really worked well! There is no way around the fact that it's tough on the knee! My "one room" really had an attached closed with a double door, so was basically two rooms attached... which i did with one long piece of carpet... turns out it should have counted as 3 simple rooms. My knee took a couple days to be fully recovered. if your knees are not used to doing this every day, you may plan on doing one simple room each day or two (or just tough it out! Fair warning... :-) ) This tool is great, awesome padding and the teeth never slipped on the carpet. I was happy with my decision to get a quality tool!

this is part of my husband work and it was working fine know it gets jam were know he hurt is knee, is there any warrent for this product

I've been installing carpet for 8 years now. Some of those other cheap plastic kickers you see a bunch of great reviews on here for are crap. Sure, they may work for someone who doesn't want to pay to rent one, or for a carpet guy to come in and re-stretch their rug but other then that, not so much. Roberts is one of the bigger names that real installers use. I've owned this model before, and have seen it and similar models to this last years, even being used almost every day. The knee pad can be unscrewed and a thicker one placed on - this is not required but if you use it for hours each day you'll appreciate the added padding, but need to hit it harder, which may make it wear out sooner. This wasn't my top choice, I prefer the one that is wider and has an extra row of teeth... but this was the only one in stock that could get here quickly for work. Do not bypass a Roberts brand kicker for the cheaper ones with more reviews if you need this for more then just occasional kicking. If you don't want your carpet bubbling again in 12 months, or to kill your knee or possibly shatter the thing and now end up paying more then the price difference by having to buy a new one... spend a couple extra dollars and go with a Roberts.

I used this kicker to install artificial turf. Looks and feels well made. The adjustable spikes on it worked well. The knee pad was comfortable.

Awesome! My house of only 2 years old started showing rippling in the carpets and I knew I could fix them myself. I was a little nervous about banging up my knee, but the padding on this kicker was great. I do not recommend using this while wearing shorts unless you want the skin on your knees to take a slight beating. The pins are adjustable and there is a cover for the pins when you have to store it. So glad I purchased this it saved me lots of money on having to hire someone.

The website description states the product is Made in USA. However, the box and tool both say it's made it Taiwan. Amazon, please update your website!!!
