Pro Tip: If you want your carpet installation to be tight, flat from end to end, and to retain its original look, make sure to use a carpet stretcher as part of your installation.

The main benefit of a carpet stretcher is to distribute tension evenly, pulling the carpet taut enough to prevent buckling.

Here are two important tips to select a carpet stretcher:

• Know the approximate size and shape of the room where you are installing the carpet
• Know what type of carpet (loop pile, cut pile, etc.) you are installing

Important features to consider when choosing a carpet stretcher include:

Swivel Head: It ensures you get the right tension at different parts of the perimeter when installing in L-shaped, non-rectangular or irregular-shaped rooms. Preferred by the Pros, ROBERTS Falcon Power 44 features a swivel head designed to lock in 5 different stretch / pattern-holding positions.

Adjustable Pin Depth: Being able to adjust the depth of the pins in your carpet stretcher matters because adjusting ensures the pins firmly grip the carpet backing to provide maximum pulling tension. Keep in mind that setting the pins correctly prevents carpet damage, fiber tearing, and subfloor scratching. The unbeatable ROBERTS Junior Power Carpet Stretcher features adjustable pin depth setting that makes it compatible with all carpet thicknesses.

Extension Tubes: Extension tubes are metal poles used to span the bulk of a room's distance. They are often fixed-length, like the 3' (36") ROBERTS 10-230-10 Steel Carpet Stretcher Extension Tube or 5' (60") ROBERTS 10-235-10 Aluminum Carpet Stretcher Extension Tube. Locking tubes usually feature a spring-loaded ratcheting mechanism to fine-tune the exact length and securely lock the stretcher in place like ROBERTS 10-250 Adjustable Locking Extension Tube which ranges 34.5" – 61" and is compatible with ROBERTS 10-254 Power-Lok Stretcher and Junior Power Stretcher.

Durability: Look for a carpet stretcher with a steel head that allows it to withstand the intense mechanical leverage and tension needed to pull carpet across a room and lock it tightly onto tack strips. Steel prevents the head from warping or cracking under heavy pressure. ROBERTS Carpet Stretchers are highly regarded for their steel heads – and durability.

When it comes to accessories and replacement parts for your carpet stretcher, a Carpet Stretcher Case with wheels can make all the difference to carry all the pieces in one place. ROBERTS 10-230-40 is specially designed to contain neatly all the parts of ROBERTS Carpet Stretchers 10-254 and 10-237.

Replacing the Nap Grip Head of your carpet stretcher at the right time, ensures the grip is as powerful and precise as you need it for the carpet to get that professional tight look. ROBERTS 10-242 Falcon Power 44 Nap Grip Head and ROBERTS 10-248 Nap Grip Head for ROBERTS Carpet Stretchers 10-254 and 10-237 are great to have handy – to replace as needed.

Being able to replace the stretcher tail is important because it serves as the anchor for your carpet stretcher. It braces against the far wall or subfloor, providing the stationary leverage needed so the stretcher head can pull and tighten the carpet across the room without bowing the walls. ROBERTS 10-258 Power Stretcher Tail is compatible with ROBERTS 10-254 Power-Lok Stretcher Kit, 10-254V Power Lok Value Kit, 10-237 Junior Power Stretcher, and 10-237V Junior Stretcher 12 pc kit.
